With no added fat and just maple syrup to sweeten, this is a very easy, healthful granola. Not to mention tasty! Be sure to serve with lots of vanilla non-dairy milk (try Sweet Vanilla Soymilk) and sliced banana!

SERVES 13 , 13 1/2 cup servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat bran or oat bran
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seed (use all raw nuts, seeds and wheat germ)
1 cup raisins (I use a mix of thompsons' and golden)
1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
1-1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 225°F.
2
Mix first six ingredients together and spread evenly on a couple of cookie sheets.
3
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and stir. Bake another 15 minutes. While it bakes, assemble the other ingredients. (coat the 1/4 cup measure with oil before using it for maple syrup).
4
Immediately transfer oat mixture to a large bowl and stir in the dried fruit and cinnamon. Slowly, pour in the maple syrup and stir to mix well.
5
Let it cool and store in an airtight container where, my guess is, it'll keep up to a month. Like it'll last that long :-).

This is a really great granola recipe WRC and I thank you. I used for the nut part - walnuts and raw almonds. I did cut back a bit on the sunflower seeds due to the fat content. I also took a little initiative and added 1/8 cup honey along with the 1/4 cup maple syrup. After mixing all the ingredients together, I stuck it back in the oven for another 10 minutes to bake some of the goodness on the oats etc. A great winning recipe~ Made for Cook-bookTag~

YUM! I love this granola! Help, I can't stop eating it! That said, I have to admit to a few changes. I ran out of raisins, so instead used finely chopped dried apricots, 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a full 1/2 cup of maple syrup. Everything else was per the recipe. I used the oat bran option. YUM, YUM, YUM. I will definitely make this one again. Thanks so much, White Rose Child! Keep up the fantastic recipes!

We enjoyed this granola so much that I've made 2 batches is the last 3 days! It was perfectly sweet and the absence of added oil was not missed at all! I love this with vanilla yogurt. I used 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and craisins instead of dates. I store this in the fridge due to the nature of the ingredients. This is a keeper and a new favorite of our family!

This. Is. Wonderful. I just love that it has no added fats, that it's absurdly easy, and that it's chock full of good all-natural things! I used the full 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon (delicious) and took another reviewer's suggestion to increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup. Since I never have bran on hand, I just put in more oats...used sliced almonds in place of pecans...and a mix of organic jumbo flame raisins, chopped dried apricots, and dried cranberries. It made a fantastic breakfast with some low-fat milk and fresh blueberries. I would call it a muesli more than granola, though, since it didn't exactly "clump together" like granola usually does.
