So I'm sitting at work and that familiar feeling is back...yep, it's hunger. My stomach is growling at me. A hungry stomach is really reliable...in that it always shows up at the WORST times.
Ugh, it's so loud. I hope no one is hearing this right now. Seriously, my stomach is rumbling like it wants to make the San Andreas Fault jealous. I need a snack that is healthy, one that gives me energy and really sticks to my ribs.
Annika's Maple Syrup Granola
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup bran flakes
- 1.5 cup wheat germ
- 1 cup Flax seed
- 7 oz sliced almond
- 7 oz coconut
- 1 pinch salt
- 7 oz dried fruit (raisin, apricot)
- 2 cup maple syrup
Heat the oven to 395 F
Mix all the ingredients except maple syrup and dried fruit.
Drizzle the maple syrup and mix granola with your hands or a spatula.
Spread out on two baking sheets and roast for 10 min in the oven so it gets a little color. Let it cool.
Add the dried fruit and store in a dry place.

This is a fun thing to do with your kids, too! Some of my best memories as a little girl involved cooking and baking with my mom. Though my baked goods were usually misshapen and occasionally missing a cup of flour, I felt so accomplished when my creations came out of that oven. Try this healthy recipe with your kids this weekend and create some great memories while you're at it.
