Granola

A healthy, no artificial sweetner, version that is easy to make and fits into the Dr. Oz diet recommendations that I have been following lately.

1/4 cup Flaxseeds
6 cups oats
2 cups sliced almonds
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup veg oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Mix all ingredients.  Spread on two baking sheets and toast at 35 degrees for 30 minutes.
*When granola is finished, toss the toasted oats with a spatula before letting it cool.  This keeps the granola from sticking together.  Allow it to cool completely before placing into storage.

Awesome with yogurt for a protein rich breakfast or snack.
