Ingredients

1/8 c of vegetable oil

1/8 c real maple syrup, grade b for strongest flavor

1/8 c honey

1 1/2 tsp of brown sugar

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1/8 tsp of salt

1 1/2 c old-fashioned oats (not instant)

1/2 c raw, unsalted sunflower seeds

1/2 c plain, unsalted walnuts

2 handfuls of ground flax seed

2 handfuls of wheat germ

1 c dried fruit

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet or shallow roasting pan with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir together the oil, syrup, honey, maple sugar, cinnamon and salt.

In a large bowl, mix the oats, seeds, wheat germ and nuts. Pour the wet stuff over the dry and mix gently. Spread the granola evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Reduce the oven temp to 300F and leave the oven door ajar to bring the temperature down while you use a spatula to gently turn the granola -- try not to break up the clumps. Bake for another 8-10 minutes until the granola is toasty and brown. Watch it carefully, the sugar will burn easily.

Wait until it's completely cool to break up the clumps. Mix in the dried fruit and store in an airtight container.
