Joan's Notes:

This recipe is from Elk Creek Lodge in Meeker, CO. It is delicious served alone with milk, or mixed with other cereals, or over oatmeal.. Also delicious served with yogurt and fruit.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Pack this up for a hike, or kick back and snack during the game... either way this is simply de-lish!

Directions

In large bowl, toss oats, almonds, pecans (both chopped and halves) and wheat germ.

Whisk oil, maple syrup, canola oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over oat mixture, and toss to coat well. Spread onto jelly roll pan, and put into preheated 350 oven for 5-7 minutes. Stir well and return to oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until toasted golden.

Remove from oven. Add cherries, apricots, and raisins. Toss together. Cool. Put into ziplock bags, or air tight container

I use granola in my yogurt, European style. It's good and healthy. I cannot wait to try this recipe and make my own. I will be getting the ingredients today!

I made your granola today. This is my first attempt at granola. I usually buy it and eat it with my Greek Yogurt. Well, I'll never buy it again!! This granola is wonderful!! The hint of maple flavor is just perfect. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
