Homemade Sweet and Salty Granola

So I need something to snack on that's not going to totally destroy my workout for the day.....so here is an awesome granola recipe!!!

Ingredients:

2 cups whole grain oats

1 C Kashi 7 whole grain puff cereal

1/4 C butter

1/4 C honey

1/2 C brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 C dried fruits

1/3 C nuts

I used Mariani New England Crunch mix!! See below.

Directions:

Mix together the oats and cereal. Set a small saucepan over medium high heat and melt the butter. Add the honey, brown sugar and salt.  Stir together then leave it alone as it comes to a boil.  Once the boil has been reached allow this mixture to boil for 2 minutes. 

2.  Add the vanilla and then pour the mixture over the oats, using a rubber spatula to get all the sugar mixture out of the pan.  Mix the ingredients together until the oats are completely coated.  Add in desired mix-in then press very firmly into a parchment lined 9×13″ pan with clean hands. If you do not press firmly enough, the bars will fall apart. Place them in the fridge for 20 minutes then cut. 

ENJOY
