Homemade Low-fat Granola



Ingredients
3 cups uncooked quick oats
2 cups Rice Crispys
6 Tbsp honey
1 tsp oil
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup raisins

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350, Mix oats and Rice Crispys together, spread on non-stick baking sheet with sides; bake for 10 minutes, stirring once.

Meanwhile, mix honey, oil, apple juice, spices, vanilla in bowl.
When oat mixture is done in oven, put in large bowl, set pan aside.
Add almonds to cereal mixture and stir to combine.
Pour honey/spice mixture over cereal and mix thoroughly to coat completely; spread mixture back into baking sheet.
Return to oven, bake for 15-20 minutes stirring every few minutes
Note; be careful that granola doesn't burn especially cereal along sides of pan...mine did just a weensy bit:)


Remove from oven and pour back into bowl. Stir in raisins and cranberries into mixture; let cool.

Store in airtight container.
Enjoy!

  6. This looks like a wonderful Granola recipe. My grandkids will love this except I will leave out the raisins. Not a one of them likes raisins...even though they had them often as little ones. Thanks for the recipe-Diana
