Megan's Granola   8 C rolled oats 3/4 C wheat germ 3/4 C ground flax seed 1 1/2 C oat bran 1 1/2 C finely chopped almonds 1 1/2 C finely chopped pecans 1 1/2 t salt

1/2 C brown sugar

1/4 C maple syrup

3/4 C honey

1 C vegetable oil

1 T ground cinnamon

1 T vanilla extract

 

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment or aluminum foil. Combine the oats, wheat germ, flax seed, oat bran, almonds and pecans in a large bowl. Stir together the salt, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, oil, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then pour over the dry ingredients, and stir to coat. Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and toasted, about 20 minutes. Stir once halfway through. Cool, before storing in an airtight container.

**Just ANOTHER granola recipe....it's because if I just could pick one food to eat the rest of my life, it would be granola....and Greek yogurt.  So I'm always trying new recipes.  Most don't delight me, but this one was a keeper.
