Nutty Apple-Blueberry Granola 5-4-11

I love Granola for its versatile use. I love it sprinkled on my Greek Yogurt or packed in small baggies when heading to the pool or park with the kids or a quick handful for a preworkout to give me a little extra energy. The best part is my kids will eat it too! Hope you enjoy! Just be careful with any granola...make sure you only eat 1 serving at a time. I like to prepackage mine so they is no temptation to just keep going and going. Portion control is key people, happy cooking!

(Makes 6 servings)I think it makes more :)
2 cups oats
1/4 cup ground flax seed
2 tbsp whole flax seed
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Cooking spray
1/2 cup dried apple slices, diced
1/4 cup dried blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 300. In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients, stirring well until mixed and coated.

2. Spray cooking spray on large cookie sheet and spread mixture onto it. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring after every 10 minutes. When done, add dried fruit and mix to combine.

  1. The calorie content is a direct result of the walnuts. But the walnuts are amazing for you. The calories are GOOD calories. LOVE this recipe. Can't wait to use it! Sounds delish!
