so... I've been working on making my breakfasts better and cheaper. I've gotten yogurt down, decided the next move was granola.

I was wondering what your favorite granolas were, what it had in it... do you make your own, or do you buy the store granolla?

    this is the recipe i just found... but sense I'm keeping it way cheap, I want to have less ingredients (I realize it would go farther, but....).

    ranola

    3 1/2 cups rolled oats
    1/2 cup coconut flakes, unsweeteend
    3 tablespoons flax seeds
    3 tablespoons sesame seeds
    1/4 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds
    1/2 cup toasted mixed nuts, chopped (I used pistachios and almonds here)
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup canola oil
    2 tablespoons honey
    1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    2 cups mixed dried fruit (I used raisins and dried cherries and cranberries here)

    Preheat the oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the dried fruit. Stir well to incorporate.

    Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the depth of goldenness you’re looking for), stirring every 10 minutes.

    Remove the granola from the oven and and cool completely, in its pan, on a wire wrack. Once the granola is cool, mix in the dried fruit.
