CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cup uncooked quick oats
- 2 oz ready-to-eat crisp rice cereal, about 2 cups
- 6 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup raisins
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350F. Mix uncooked oats and puffed rice cereal together and spread on a non-stick baking sheet with sides; bake for 10 minutes, stirring once.
- Meanwhile, mix honey, oil, apple juice, spices and vanilla together in a cup. When oats and puffed rice are done, spoon into a large bowl; set pan aside. Add almonds to cereal mixture and stir to combine. Pour honey-spice mixture over cereal mixture and mix thoroughly to distribute and coat completely; spread mixture back over pan.
- Return pan to oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, stirring every few minutes. Remove from oven and spoon back into bowl. (Note: Be careful that granola doesn't burn - especially cereal along sides of pan.)
- Stir raisins and cranberries into mixture; let cool. Store in an airtight container. Yields about a half cup per serving.
