Granola!

5 cups oats
2 cups raw almonds (or whatever nut!)
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup flax seed
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
I added 1/3 cup of vanilla protein powder and I think I would add a few teaspoons of vanilla extract!
1 tsp ginger (I used it and think I would leave it out, kinda strong, but if you like ginger go for it!)
1/3 cup agave or honey
3/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
2 TB canola oil
mix dry ingredients
mix wet ingredients
pour wet over dry and press until wet!
heat oven to 300
spread on baking sheets
cook for 40 min to an hour depending on your desired crispness turn every 20 or so!
This goes fabulous in plain yogurt with fresh berries!

Other notes if you haven't discovered hummus as an alternative to mayo (flavor sandwiches and such, and as a dip for veggies) GIVE IT A TRY! Just got done making roasted red pepper hummus! Delicious! Bought some jalapeno at a specialty store too and used it as a sandwich spread!
OH and EDEMAME if you haven't tried it you should too, it is high in protein, low fat and a great evening snack if you have the salt munchies!
Lots of new possibilities keep the recipes coming!
