Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 c. rolled rye flakes (optional)
• 1 c. rolled wheat flakes (optional)
• 1/2 c. toasted wheat germ
• 1/2 c. soy flour
• 1/2 c. chopped walnuts, toasted
• 1/2 c. chopped almonds, toasted
• 1/4 c. sesame seeds, toasted
• 1/4 c. raw & unsalted sunflower seeds, toasted
• 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 c. plus 2 Tbsp honey
• 1/4 c. plus 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 c. canola or corn oil
• 3/4 c. dried fruit (raisins, currents, apricots, dates), chopped

Directions

1. Preheat the over to 350 deg.

2. Dry Ingredients (up to applesauce) – Combine the dry ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl and make a well in the center.

3. Wet Ingredients – Whisk together the wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until evenly moistened.

4. Spread on a large baking sheet and bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola begins to turn golden brown, about 30 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven and immediately pour the granola into a large bowl. Add the dried fruit and stir well. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

6. Note: You can use all honey or all maple syrup instead of a combination. If you can’t find rye or wheat flakes, you can substitute more old-fashioned rolled oats. Eric and I didn’t toast our nuts and it still tasted fine. You could probably substitute regular or whole wheat flour for the soy flour if you can’t find soy flour.
