GRANOLA

Ingredients:
3 C Oatmeal
1/2 C Butter
1/2 C Honey
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 C Wheat Germ
1/4 C Flax Seed
1/2 C Brown Sugar

Directions:
Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add honey, cinnamon and salt and briefly heat with butter. Remove from heat and add oatmeal, wheat germ, flax seed and brown sugar. Pour onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Store in airtight container.

Recipe Notes:
Recipe found at The Happy Housewife blog (http://thehappyhousewife.com/cooking/granola/) with my variations added. Next time I will add more brown sugar and cinnamon. May also add nutmeg, slivered almonds or chopped pecans. A very tasty, healthy snack!
