Granola is one of God's most perfect foods. The cost of it is appalling in the grocery store. I was feeling lazy last week and actually thought I'd buy some. I quickly changed my mind when I looked at the price. Today I made it and decided that you would love to have this low fat recipe too.
Granola
2 tbsp of canola oil
1/2 cup hulled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup honey
2 cups of old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
zest from 1/2 of an orange
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1 tbsp cinnamon
Mix all ingredients together except cinnamon until thoroughly coated. Turn out onto a greased baking pan with a rim, and spread out the ingredients. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake on 350 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring a couple of times until evenly browned. Let cool. Store granola in a well sealed container. It will keep for a couple of weeks.
Typically I double this recipe. It is terrific as a cereal or a topping for yogurt or ice cream. Fresh fruit or dried both taste great on this granola.
