Tami's Granola

Here is a great recipe for Healthy Granola. My kids love it as a snack, or in yogurt. This recipe is for 18 servings. I make a lot at a time because it stores very well. You can change it in any way to match your taste better. I dont put any dried fruit in it because it adds a lot of carbs, but it goes well with any add-ins. Enjoy

TIP - You can find ground organic flax at sams. I use it in everything. When your baking you can use the flax instead of oil and you can use as a egg sub. I also put it on my kids PB&J sandwhichs, omlets, casseroles and much more. They love it and you really can't taste it.
