Recipe Ingredient

First Watch Granola

• 6 c. Rolled Oats
• 1 c. Sunflower Seeds
• 2 c. Wheat Germ
• 3/2 c. Almonds, slivered
• 1 tbsp. Cinnamon
• 1 c. Maple Syrup
• 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
• 1/2 c. Canola Oil
• 1/4 c. Agave Syrup
• 2 tbsp. Vanilla Extract
• 1 c. Dried Cranberries
• 1 c. Dried Cherries

• In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, almonds and cinnamon; mix ingredients two times to distribute the cinnamon evenly.
• In another mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, oil, agave and vanilla. Mix using a wire whisk. Pour over dry ingredients.
• Using a rubber spatula or your hands, mix into granola until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
• Split mix evenly on 2 greased sheet pans. Spread out the mix in a single layer on both trays. Do not press the granola down.
• Bake at 300°F for 20 minutes. When golden brown, remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature.
• Once granola is completely cool, break into quarter-sized pieces.
• Transfer to an airtight container and store in a dry place for up to 1 week.
• To add another layer of flavor, feel free to add about 1 to 2 cups of your favorite dried cranberries or dried cherries after the granola has cooled completely.
