Sunflower Granola

This granola requires only 3 main ingredients and is a delectable way to start the day.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of oats

3/4 cup of raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup of dried cranberries

2 T agave syrup

2 T peanut oil

Preheat oven to 300˚F.

Mix dry ingredients together. Add agave syrup and peanut oil and mix thoroughly.

Place aluminum foil along the bottom of 1 to 2" deep pans and spread granola across creating a thin layer so that most of the pieces are exposed. Place into pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir the granola every 7-10 minutes while baking.

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely before packaging it. Stirring occasionally while cooling will help it not to clump.

Note:

For the peanut oil, I used the top oil from my jar of peanut butter. I don't like the excess oil that sits at the top of natural brands of peanut butter so before using the jar, I drain the oil into a separate container to use for cooking.
