Simple Vegan Granola Recipe

Granola is so much fun!  You can have it for breakfast, as a snack, or even as dessert--it's so versatile!  If you want to get a high quality granola from the grocery store, it tends to be quite expensive.  So save yourself some money and make your own batch of it at home!

Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 cups unsweetened (or fruit juice sweetened) cornflakes
4 tbsp. oil
1/2 cup agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dried fruit
1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300.  Mix all the dry ingredients (except the dried fruit) together.  (Go ahead and mix it with your hands!)  In a separate bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients.  Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix together well.  Put mixture into a baking pan and bake for 25 minutes.  Take it out of the oven, mix it up a little bit, and blend in the dried fruit.  Put it back in the oven for approx. 12 minutes.  Take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.  Then enjoy!
