Breadmaker Granola

Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups oats
• 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds (shelled)
• 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled)
• 1 cup nuts (slivered almonds, walnuts, filberts etc)
• 3 tablespoons pumpkin butter (or natural peanut butter)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup ground flax seeds (or bran or wheat germ)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups dried fruit (i use rasins and chopped apricots)

Recipe

• 1 put all ingredients except the dried fruit in the breadmaker. set to jam cycle and run. this will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. if you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up.
• 2 add dried fruit after the cycle is finished.
• 3 tips:.
• 4 use a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate instead of applesauce for an orangy flavor. this is would taste good with craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
• 5 if you like crispy, lumpy granola then add 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda and a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate.
• 6 if you want to use this as more of a trail mix than a yogurt topping it might be better to omit the ground flax.
• 7 i use a pair of scissors to cut up the apricots, but i'm sure a knife and chopping board would work just as well.
