Fiber rich granola recipe

(Picture taken from google image, but the recipe makes even yummier granola!!!)

My little sister and I make this gronola and it is super yummy and cheap!

1/4 cup of conola or olive oil
1/2 cup cold water
1 TBS honey
2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups old- fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 TBS flaxseed

Optional:
1/4 cup dehydrated cocunut
1/2 cup sliced Almonds or pumpkin seeds
Cinnamon for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Mix liquids and salt in LARGE bowl. Then add the reast of the ingredients. Mix well. Pour contents onto a large cookie sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Cook for 45-60 minutes stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool and store in an air tight container.

Fiber: about 7-9 grams for a 1/2 c. serving.

Do remember that granola is calorie dense so try to stick to the serving size with a peice of fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, or served as a cereal!
