Ultimate Granola Recipe

Hey Guys,

This is a recipe that our trainer shared with us. It is really yummy, all natural and it has no sugar! Try it! It tastes really good!

Ultimate Granola

In a large bowl combine:

12 cups - regular (old fashioned) rolled oats
1/2 cup - ground flax seed
1 1/2 cups - fine unsweetened coconut
1 cup - slivered almonds
2 cups - chopped walnuts

Blend until smooth:

1 1/2 cups - dates
3/4 cup - water
1 TBSP - vanilla
1 1/2 tsp - salt
3 - small ripe (brown) bananas (2 large)
dash of cinnamon

Mix well with the dry ingredients. Bake in metal pans or cookie sheets for 2 hours @ 250 degrees. If mixture is not completely dry, bake for another 2-3 hours at 200-225 degrees until completely dry and golden brown.

Once cooled, add dry (unsweetened) fruit of your choice. Suggestions: raisins, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries and apples.

For best freshness, store in a tightly sealed container or freeze for later use.

ENJOY!
