Dried cranberries. Chase with pickle juice. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

good granola
 

4c whole oats
1c oat bran
3/4c flour
1c sunflower seeds
1c chopped nuts (almonds or hazelnuts)
1/2c honey
3/4c oil
1 tbs vanilla extract
1tsp kosher salt

mix everything together, spread mixture thin evenly over several baking pans and bake on 325 until golden brown, turning several times to avoid burning.

let cool and add pumpkin seeds. flour is optional but makes it stick together better. cinnamon powder is a good option as well, generally 1-2 tbs.

That sounds great.

BUT, fwiw, it also doesnt sound very healthy.

What's not healthy about it? whole grains and nuts? the 1/2 cup of honey spread over 5 cups of other ingredients?

Re: good granola
 

because of the oil? you can get away with less and also use very low fat oil (like canola) since you're not cooking with it (i.e. frying, sauteing etc). also, it makes a lot of granola, like more than in a box of cereal. I don't think it's that bad for you, and using honey as a sweetener is generally better than using refined sugar.

maybe I'm biased though, I have a bowl of this every morning for breakfast [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
