Nonfat Granola

Great recipe to have around.  I enjoy it with yogurt, my morning cereal or all by itself.  Great to gift to new nursing mamas (oats are supposed to be good for milk production).


Nonfat Granola
By Jonni McCoy 

3/4 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. concentrated apple juice from frozen concentrate
1/2 c. nonfat dry milk
1/3 c. honey
5 c. quick-cooking oats (I use regular oats)
2 T. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. dried fruit

     Mix sugar, juice, dry milk, and honey in saucepan and heat over medium heat only until sugar dissolves.  Combine dry ingredients and fruit in mixing bowl.  Pour sugar mixture slowly over dry mixture and blend well.  Place on cookie sheet and bake at 375* for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. 
     Options:  Be creative by adding peanuts, sunflowers seeds, coconut, sesame seeds, peanut butter, or whatever else your family enjoys.  (I put about half cup each of coconut flakes, almonds, and raisins).
