Homemade Spiced Granola-Goodness


Nothing better than a hint of sweetness, crunch, and protein? Especially tasty on yogurt and fruit!


1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
2. Toast oats, chopped nuts, and seeds in the oven for about 10 minutes
3. Meanwhile, warm the maple syrup, water, and vanilla extract and stir to combine
4. Once the oats have been toasted, remove from the oven and toss with spices.
5. Pour warmed maple syrup mixture onto oats and stir well.
6. Spread mixture onto greased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Let the mixture cool on the baking sheet until crunchy, then mix the dried fruit.
8. Enjoy!! Great as jarred gifts or on top of yogurt and fruit.

About Me

"I have learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou Take Risks. Leap.
