Ingredients
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 heaped cup mixed nuts or whatever kind you like
1/4 cup mixed seeds (sunflower, poppy, pumpkin, sesame)
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup fiber one cereal
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons maple syrup or honey or use a little of both
About 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups dried fruit (mixture of raisins, cranberries, apricots is my favorite)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Put oatmeal, mixed nuts, mixed seeds, coconut, fiber one and cinnamon on a baking sheet. Stir well; smooth out. Drizzle with maple syrup/honey and olive oil; stir. Bake 25-30 minutes. Every 5 minutes or so take out and stir, then smooth down with a wooden spoon and put back in oven. If it does not appear to be the stickiness that you would like just add more honey/maple syrup. You can really improvise a lot with this recipe. When granola is golden, remove from oven, mix in dried fruit (roughly chop any large pieces); let cool.
You can eat plain, with milk or with yogurt. It will keep for up to 2 weeks but mine never lasts that long. I like to keep a little at the office for snacking.
