High Fiber Granola

I am a girl with a sweet tooth! That being said, I have cut out all refined sugar. I am a recovering dark chocolate chip addict, I was about a half a cup a night user. It was not only a sugar addiction but a nightly habit. I loved going to the cupboard and getting out one of my little sauce bowls and filling it with ghirardelli dark chocolate chips, frozen of course. Its just what I did..pretty much every night. What I recently learned was, that I had conditioned myself to do so. Weird huh? Anyway, I have replaced those bad habits, with this good one! High Fiber Granola. Packed with protein rich nuts and high in Fiber. I make a standard base granola, then everyone can individualize single servings to their liking. I have stocked up on a variety of dried fruits and raw nuts for adding in. All portions are approximations and I highly suggest you personalize it to your liking.

DRY INGREDIENTS
4-5 Cups Organic Old Fashioned Oats                                      
1/2 Cup Wheat Bran
1/2 Cup Flax Meal
1 Cup Organic Non Sweetened Shaved Coconut
1 Cup Chopped Raw Nuts(I do pecans, almonds & cashews)
1/4 Cup Raw Sunflower Seeds
Ground Cinnamon & Nutmeg to taste

WET INGREDIENTS
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Oil(I use canola, but just switched to coconut oil. Will update with how it works in this recipe later)
1/4 to 1/3 Cup Honey
2 TBS. Agave Nectar
2 TBS. Pure Maple Syrup
1 TBS. Molasses

Turn oven on to 325. Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Heat wet ingredients in a small sauce pan on the stove until it is mixed well. Add wet ingredients to dry in 4 parts, stirring well in between. Line sheet pan with parchment paper and pile on the mixture. Level out and smash down with metal spatula. This will help granola to form nice big chunks. Cook in 325 degree oven for 30-40 minutes, rotating pan half way through cooking. Let cool completely before you remove from pan.

* The wet ingredients can be altered to fit your preference. If you add less oil you will get more of a dry cereal like texture from the oats. You can also cut back on the sweet ingredients. I use Organic ingredients whenever possible, but sometimes choose local over Organic.
