#2 I'LL WRITE IN THIS BLOG BEFORE THE WEEKEND IS UP!

got it?
good.
now onto the granola:

Grindin' it Out Granola
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raw cashew pieces
1/2 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin or sunflower seeds
1/8 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cassia cinnamon
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon fresh-grated nutmeg

1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup Grade B maple syrup
4 oz unsweetened apple sauce

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet (preferably one with sides, i.e. a jelly roll pan) with parchment paper. Mix all dry ingredients together in a big bowl. Measure all the wet ingredients into the same measuring cup and stir to combine, then add to the dry mixture. Mix everything up real good, then spread evenly on baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Let cool, then EAT! Or pour into your favorite lidded container(s) and keep for up to one month.
