Homemade Granola

I love granola, but the store-bought varieties tend to be high in fat and calories, which as we all know, equals high WW Points values. Plus, its expensive! I recently found a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine for homemade granola. After a few tests and tweaks, I think I may have found the perfect, all natural, low Point, wallet-friendly recipe.

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp + 1 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries

• Preheat oven to 300.
• Mix first 7 ingredients in large bowl.
• Heat honey and oil in saucepan until smooth.
• Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and stir thoroughly.
• Spread on non-stick baking sheet.
• Cook for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown.
• Allow to cool, then mix in fruit.
• Store in air-tight container or ziplock.

Servings = 20 (1/4 cup)
WW Points = 2

I like to eat mine over WW vanilla yogurt with 1/2 cup of fresh fruit tossed in.
