Granola

Prep:20minCook:30min
Versatile granola. Mix it up with whatever seeds, nuts or dried fruit you have. Try to keep the quantities the same (e.g., if you substitute cashews for almonds, stick with a one half cup amount.) No matter what seeds or nuts you choose, you'll get a hit of fiber, protein and healthy fats. Yields 7 cups.
