List of Ingredients




4 cups ( 1 L) rolled oats
2 cups ( 500 mL) mixed nuts and seeds, such as slivered almonds, coarsely chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds
1 tsp ( 5 mL) cinnamon
1/2 tsp ( 2 mL) nutmeg
1/2 cup ( 125 mL) warm water
1/2 cup ( 125 mL) pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp ( 2 mL) vanilla
1 cup ( 250 mL) mix of raisins, chopped dried apricots and dates


Recipe



Preheat oven to 300F (150C).

Lightly oil 2 jelly roll pans or large cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, stir oats with nuts, seeds and spices.

In a small bowl, stir warm water with syrup and vanilla.

While stirring, gradually pour into oat mixture. Stir to evenly coat.

Spread out on oiled pans.

Bake in centre of 300F (150C) oven, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning, until granola is crumbly and golden, about 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and immediately stir in raisin mixture.

When cool, store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature or up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
