Here's a granola loaded with healthy fats that you can feel good about serving. You'll find flaxseed sold in most bulk or health food stores. For maximum nutrition, it must be ground - a coffee grinder will do the trick.
3 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup water
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup raisins, chopped dried apricots or dates (optional)
Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, wheat germ, flaxseed, cinnamon and salt.
In a small pot, heat the honey, oil, water and vanilla over medium heat, whisking and cooking just enough to combine it well, about 1 minute.
Drizzle half of the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the remaining half and mix until thoroughly combined.
Arrange the granola over 2 baking sheets in an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Add raisins. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
