Awesome Granolo mix

I love to make this because it is so versatile and you can add it to what ever you want or just eat it as is.

4 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup craisins (you can use yogurt covered ones too)
(you can add what ever you want really, just keep it low fat, high fiber and healthy lol)

YOu can either use one whole banana or a cup of peanut butter here

3 tbs honey
3 tbs real maple syrup. DO NOT USE THE FAKE SYRUP, that stuff is so bad for you!
1 1/2 tbs almond or canola oil
1/2 cup wheat germ

Blend the banana or peanut butter with the honey and syrup
dump all ingredients but the wheat germ into a large enough bowl, mix well and then spray a deep cookie sheet or cake pan and spread the mix out evenly

Bake on 275 mix every 15 minutes for about 35 or 40 minutes. ON the last 10 minutes sprinkle the wheat germ over, bake the remaining time and then remove and cool.

Once it is totally cooled off I mix it up good so it is crumbly and store in a glass jar. It goes great with yogurt and other deserts like the baked apple or peanut butter apples etc.

Enjoy.
