Breakfast cereals at the store are so expensive these days, even the store brands are getting pricey. I guess I can't bring myself to pay $4.00+ on a single box of cereal that will only last us a week. So to solve this dilemma, I use what I have on hand to make this yummy breakfast treat.
By making your own breakfast cereal, you safe so much money and it is super easy to make.
Halley's Cranberry-Almond Granola
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup slivered almonds
2 Tbs. ground or whole flaxseed
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
3 Tbs. maple syrup
3 Tbs. honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, coconut, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, honey, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
Remove from oven and allow to cool do not mix*. Transfer into a large bowl. Add cranberries and gently mix until evenly distributed.
Serve with milk or over yogurt.
*TIP: Cooling on pan will allow the granola to set and form clusters.
