Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 5 tablespoons apple juice; 5 tablespoons honey (add more for a sweeter taste); 2 tablespoons maple syrup (add more for a sweeter taste); 3 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons vanilla extract; 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg; 3 cups multi-grain hot cereal (or oats); 1/4 cup sliced almonds; 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds; 1/3 cup sunflower seeds; 3 tablespoons sesame seeds; 1 cup dried berries (optional)

Servings: persons

5 tablespoons apple juice
5 tablespoons honey (add more for a sweeter taste)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (add more for a sweeter taste)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups multi-grain hot cereal (or oats)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup dried berries (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
2
Toast nuts in pan over stove until lightly brown.
3
Mix the fruit juice, honey, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, and spices in a large bowl. It's okay to add more honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, or spices - just depends how you like your granola to taste.
4
Add oats and nuts into honey mixture and combine together.
5
Spread mixture on a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes until golden. Stir occasionally. Use your best judgement when baking. I like mine a little crunchy, so sometimes I bake it 40 minutes.
6
Leave on pan to cool.
7
If you are using dried fruit stir in once completely cooled.
8
Store granola in container with lid (not in refrigerator). It will last about a week or a little longer. Add granola to vanilla yogurt, or with milk, or eat plain.
