Joyce’s Granola

Ingredients

• 4 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1/2 cup flax seed meal
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons agave nectar
• 3 tablespoons (blank) sugar-free pancake syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Mix oats, wheat germ, flax seed meal, almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Whisk applesauce, agave syrup, and pancake syrup together in a separate bowl; drizzle over the oats mixture and stir until evenly coated. Spread oats mixture onto prepared baking sheet.
