Granola

This is probably the best tasting granola that I've ever had. It's yummy stuff! I ate it topped on some Greek yogurt today and I felt like I was eating dessert!

Power Granola
from Cooking Light

2 cups regular oats

1/3 c. ground flaxseed

1/4 c. chopped walnuts

1/4 c. slivered almonds

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/3 c. orange juice

1/3 c. honey

1/4 c. packed brown sugar

2 tsp. canola oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/3 c. Craisins


Preheat oven to 300. Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Combine orange juice, honey and brown sugar in a saucepan and heat just until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in oil and vanilla. Pour over dry mixture and stir to coat. Spread mixture over a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 10 min.; stir well, bake another 15 min. Stir in dried cranberries (I didn't read the directions very well and added the cranberries with the dry ingredients and baked them.....still turned out fine).

1/4 c. = 93 calories
