Healthy Homemade Granola

I got this recipe from this blogsite written by a registered dietician. Now, I have been serious in my search for a true, healthy granola. Most are overwhelmed by sugars so much that "healthy"granola is sort of an oxymoron. I didn't realize how much oil goes into the standard homebaked granola, either. So, you can sort of taste the "health" in this... it probably would be better following suit with the others-- little more oil and sugar. But it is excellent with plain yogurt and a little honey, or just with milk and some fresh fruit! I felt great after I ate it that way, which was the best part.

Preheat oven to 300

Combine dry Ingredients:
3 cups Steeled Oats, rolled oats, or a combination of grains (barley, etc).
1 cup raw almonds
1/4 c unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds
1/4 c flaxseed (note: did you know that our bodies don't process the outer shell of a flaxseed? This is why, in order to get the nutrition in them, you must grind them before use).
1/4 c wheat germ
1/4 c dried fruit (I used just cranberries, and ended up doubling it :) *Do not add until done baking
optional: 1/4 c shaved coconut

In a separate bowl, combine:
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
1/6 c honey or agave
1 TB EVOO
1/2 TB ground cinnamon
1/2 TB ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt

Mix wet mixture into dry ingredients (except dried fruit and/or coconut) very thoroughly to achieve appropriate consistency. Place on large jellyroll on bakers parchment. Bake 35-40 mins, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes for even browning. Add dried fruit and mix when cooled. Store in refrigerator for up to one month.
