I made my own granola (from a recipe I found) and now I eat it with some low fat vanilla yogurt and a chopped up banana or apple for a healthy start to my day.
Granola:
6 cups of oats (not the fast cooking kind--the old fashioned ones)
6 oz. of sliced almonds
6 oz. of dried apricots (chopped up)
6 oz. of dried cranberries, craisins, or cranberries mixed with raisins
1 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Mix together
Melt 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
Pour over the oat mixture and mix it together to make sure the oat mixture is all coated. Lay the oat mixture out on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20 or 30 minutes. You can turn it once to make sure the bottom does not get too done.
