Berry Fresh Granola Cereal

Mix up a hearty bowl of cereal for the kids, made the old fashioned way. 

Keep the sleepover menu creative by adding homemade granola cereal to your next breakfast feast. Great as a cereal served on its own, as yogurt topping or as a healthy snack. This granola is berry good for everyone, and makes breakfast planning easy because it can be made in big batches and stored for up to 4 weeks.

Ingredients:

3 cups of rolled oats

1/2 cup of mixed nuts

1/2 cup of unsalted sunflower seeds

3/4 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup of dark brown sugar

1/4 cup of maple syrup

1/8 cup of Hazelnut oil

1/8 cup of vegetable oil

3/4 teaspoon of sea salt

1 cup of dried cranberries

1 cup of raisins

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 250 F.

In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, nuts, coconut, seeds and brown sugar, giving it a quick stir to combine all the ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, oil, and salt, stirring well before adding it to the dry bowl mixture.

Once fully blended, pour the granola onto 2 sheet pans and cook for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color across the granola. 

Once it is cooked, remove your pans from the oven, and once cool enough to handle, pour into a mixing bowl and fold in the dried fruit.

If not eating immediately, store in an airtight container for up to four weeks.
