Walnut Pecan Granola $5.40


Great antioxident, snack, breakfast and sweet enough to be a dessert!! Although Oats have made my top 10 convenience store super foods, they are also on tons and tons of others super 10 list. With fiber, protein, vitamin A, B6, zinc and did I mention FIBER. Oats are so great because just 1/2 cup a day will help to lower cholesterol and aid in cardio health, not to mention control blood sugar, which can keep diabetes at bay. Try to eat Oats everyday, and if oatmeal gets boring, find different ways to prepare the little beige gems.
6 cups oats 2.10
1/3 cup canola oil .50
3/4 cup honey 1.20
1/4 cup apple juice .20
1/4 cup pecans .60
1/4 cup walnuts .60
1/4 cup raisins .20

mix oil, honey, and apple juice in bowl
add oats to the liquid mixture
mix evenly, so the oats are completely covered in oil
pour into a large cake pan, and pat down so the oat mixture evenly lays in the pan
bake at 350 for 40 minutes
remove from oven and toss the oats and repat them down in the pan
bake another 20 minutes on 250
remove and pour into another pan
add raisins, walnuts and pecans
