a recipe

sweet and salty staple: granola

preheat the oven to 250

mix together a baking pan:
3 T honey
2 T oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1 T brown sugar, crumbled
1 tsp freshly ground sea salt
2 tsp flax seeds
1/4 c nuts (optional)

add 3 C rolled oats, mix very well
bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
mix in 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
bake another 15-20 minutes, until the oats are golden brown and crisp.

enjoy warm or store in an air-tight container and sprinkle over chopped apples, bananas, soymilk....
this has been my staple for the past two weeks. the sea salt is delicious.
