Low Fat Granola

I LOVE this sprinkled over Horizon Non Fat vanilla yogurt as a great energizing and satisfying snack. If I have a sweet tooth that I'm trying to hold at bay, this will often do the trick! If I want to make breakfast out of it - I'll cut up whatever fresh fruit we have on hand - bananas, pineapple, strawberries - and add it to the granola and yogurt to make a muesli.

Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds (shelled)
3/4 cup shredded sweet coconut
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. 

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silcone baking mats.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, cinnamon and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt.

Combine both mixtures and pour onto the 2 cookie sheets.
