Forget-the-Fat Granola

12 servings, A serving is 1/2 cup

3 c. uncooked old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking)
3/4 c. wheat germ
1/3 c. whole raw almonds, roughly chopped
2 T. shelled raw sunflower seeds
1 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. salt
1 c. unsweetened apple-juice concentrate, thawed
1 c. dried cranberries or raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 325.
2. Combine the oats, wheat germ, almonds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add the juice concentrate. Stir well, and spread mixture even on a large rimmed baking sheet.
3. Bake, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Place baking sheet on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Mix in dried cranberries or raisins, then pour into a sealable container or plastic bad and store at room temperature for up to 2 months.

This is seriously the BEST granola I've ever had. The fact that's it's healthy is an added bonus. This is from Dr. Phil's The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook. --Keri
