Old Fashion Granola

This is one of my favorite granola recipes. It’s quick and simple. My old friend Kathy from back east gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. Try it with some yogurt or almond milk. Because it seems to disappear so quickly in my house I usually make a double batch. Have fun with it by adding your own favorite nuts and spices.

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups rolled oats
½ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup each of the following:

  • Sliced almonds
  • Crushed walnuts
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes

1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon allspice
2/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven 275°
2. Add oats and flour to a large mixing bowl, mix well.
3. Add nuts/seeds and spices, mix well.
4. Add in maple syrup until all the flour is mixed in well.
5. Spread on cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, take out of oven. Mix around on cookie sheet to prevent sticking and then return to oven for another 20 minutes.
7. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
