Our new favorite granola recipe

I have been making this and we have been gobbling it up and sharing with others, too, so they can enjoy. I like it for breakfast as my cereal. Jesse takes it to work in a little baggie. And it goes great over yogurt, too.

Millet Crunch Granola

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup uncooked millet
1/3 cup honey or agave nectar or maple syrup
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (skip the ones with hydrogenated oils and sugar)
2 Tbs of water
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 sunflower seeds
1 Tbs freshly ground flax seeds
Optional: 1/2 cup no sugar added coconut
Optional: 2 Tbs of coconut oil

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In small pan melt PB, sweetener, water, and oil over low heat. In a large bowl toss all dry ingredients with the PB mixture until completely coated. Spread on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Stir once during baking. Cool completely and enjoy!

I usually double this recipe as this only lasts a day or two for us.

millet- great source of protein and iron (great for a pregnant momma like me)
pumpkin seeds- great source of protein, iron, zinc, and Vit A
sunflower seeds- high in protein, also a good source of calcium, iron, and Vit A, D, and E

Note to Liz, I was thinking this would be great with sunflower butter to get rid of the PB allery issue. I have never bought the sunflower seed butter, though. Let me know.

I can find all of these items in the bulk or natural foods section at Cash Wise. Although, I just bought most of these items in bulk from Azure Standard in bulk this last month as it is a staple in our home right now. More about my thoughts on Azure in the future.
