Granola
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons pistachios
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons demerara or 1/4 cup brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, nuts, sesame and sunflower seeds, maple syrup/demerara or brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and salt.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the olive oil, agave or honey, and water. Toss the mixture until it is well combined, then spread it evenly on a cookie sheet.

Bake the granola until lightly browned, approximately 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to keep the mixture from sticking.
