Steps to make Granola:

1. Preheat oven to 275° F or 135° C
2. Mix oats, bran & flax in a large roasting pan.
3. Whisk the "flavorings" together and then drizzle over the oat mixture. Stir until evenly moist.
4. Bake for 1-1/2 hours – stirring every 15 minutes.
5. After the third stirring, add the "nuts, seeds & fruits".
6. Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
7. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
8. NOTE: I have experimented with the balance and quantities of the fats and sugars. As I reduced the fat, the texture went from crunchy to chewy. I did not have success with less than 1/4 cup of fat. I have also sometimes replaced the more processed sugars with unsweetened frozen juice concentrate.
9. Serving size - 1/4 cup

You'll only need one bowl and some basic pantry ingredients. Granola is a breakfast food and snack food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners such as brown sugar, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked until it is crisp, toasted and golden brown.
