Homemade granola!

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup flax seed
1/2 cup crushed almonds and walnuts
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon all spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup dried cranberries

Mix all ingredients together then spread out on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes. Add cranberries after the 30 minutes. Keep in airtight container.

This is a spin off recipe on some "healthy-ish" cookies we attempted to make this weekend. Once baked they came out of the oven in large uneven granola chunk form instead of round doughey cookie form. They were quickly consumed with discussion of making granola for the next go around. This recipe is almost identical to the oatmeal cookie recipe sans the brown rice flour and butter. Enjoy!
