MAPLE NUT GRANOLA

MAPLE NUT GRANOLA

A batch of this granola is a real crowd pleaser for brunch: Layer with yogurt and berries for a lovely (and healthy :) parfait. The oats are an excellent source of hearth-healthy soluble fiber, while flax is a super source of alpha-linolenic acid, a precursor to much needed omega-3 fats. The granola is sweetened moderately with maple syrup, containing some good minerals not found in other sweeteners. Makes about 14 cups. Serving size 1/4 - 1/3 cup. Stores well.
