1/4 raisins or dried cranberries


1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes


1/4 cup sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds


1 tsp salt


1 tsp cinnamon


2 tbsp ground flaxseeds


1 tsp vanilla or almond extract


Line a cookie sheet pan with parchement paper and spray some Pam. In a large bowl mix all ingredients and spread out on sheet pan. Let toast in oven 350 degree oven for about 20-25 min depending how crispy and golden brown you like it. Once cool just break up and loosen up the granola. This is great with milk, or yogurt and as a dessert with vanilla ice cream just sprinkled over.
