Categories: Veg10
Yield: 1 servings

4 c Rolled flakes
Such as oat or wheat or
-spelt or barley
1 c Quinoa; rinsed well
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Grated nutmeg
1/2 c Sliced or slivered almonds
1 ts Vanilla

1/2 c Honey or maple syrup
1/2 c Raisins or dried cherries

MAKES ABOUT 6 cups

Another way to make granola--using juice instead of oil.

Preheat the oven to 300 F. Mix the flakes, quinoa, spices, and almonds
together, then add the vanilla, juice, and honey. Toss well to moisten
evenly, then toast on a sheet pan until browned, about 30 minutes, stirring
a few times. Add the dried fruit once the cereal is cooked.

ADDITIONS TO GRANOLA

Except for adding dried fruits after the granola is baked so that it won't
turn rock hard, there are no hard-and-fast rules about ingredients. All of
these can be used in granola mixtures.

Oat, wheat, spelt, barley, or rye flakes

Cashews, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, almonds

Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, popped amaranth, or toasted quinoa

Flaked coconut, banana chips

Chopped dates, dried cranberries, cherries, apples, pears, or papaya slices

Wheat, rice or oat bran, wheat germ

Vanilla or almond extract

Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, mace
