Got this from a nutritionist friend of mine. It has flax seed, and walnuts are good for you - the only nut that has omega 3's. Sometimes I'll also add a cup of sunflower seeds. My daughter loves it and a 8 yo friend was over and tried it. His comment: "This is tasty!" I gave the recipe to his mom and she made it for a school function and it was a hit! I use rolled oats, but you could use quick oats too. I use this on top of fruit and yogurt for a healthy breakfast.

SERVES 20 , 1/2 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

7 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup brown sugar or sucanat
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 275°F In big bowl, combine oats, raisins, nuts and flaxseed.
2
In microwavable bowl, blend together brown sugar, oil, honey and cinnamon.
3
Cook on high in microwave until mixture starts bubbling. Remove, add vanilla and stir.
4
Pour over oat mixture and mix well.
5
Thinly spread on baking sheet(s). Bake for 15 minutes.
6
Stir, return to oven for addt’l 15 minutes or until oats are toasted.
7
Cool thoroughly. Store in airtight container.
8
I keep in fridge if not eaten right away. You could also pack into a pretty container and give as a Christmas gift.

LOVED this healthy treat. I subbed the honey for agave nectar - delicious! I made the entire batch hoping that we would finish it off throughout the week, but it just made TOO much for just my husband and I, next time I will halve the recipe. But its a keeper!!

A friend of mine gave me some granola with the ingredients that are in this recipe. I have been trying to buy more of that granola and they stopped makeing it. (Oh wow is me). I then, with a guardian angle on my shoulder, came upon AmandalinOz granola. Smelling it baking then stiring it then the ultimate tasting it. It was like heaven on earth. This is my 4th time of making it. The one time I made it I added a little more of the sauce. This came out a little bit chewy, which is still loved. All I can say is a big fat THANK YOU. for this heavenly recipe. PS I have had to hand out this recipe to so many satisfied tasters that I have lost count. Thanks again Pat Merwin

This recipe turned out great! My daughter that refuses to eat nuts even liked it! I did substitute craisins for the raisins and I think it adds a little zing. Oh, and I made a mistake and added 1 tablespoon of cinnamon instead of 1/2 tablespoon (looking at the vanilla!) and I would definitely add a tablespoon again. Bought some vanilla yogurt to top with it, one way to add more dairy to my growing daughters diets, being a WI Cheesehead as well. Thanks for the great recipe.
