Healthier Granola

This healthy granola is a family favorite. When made into bars, it makes a great grab-and-go breakfast option or an awesome after-school snack. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Directions

1. Line a cookie sheet (or a 9×13-inch pan, for bars) with Gefen Parchment Paper.

2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with water, mix, and let sit. This is your flax egg.

3. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add the flax egg.

4. Press mixture into pan.

5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

6. For granola, break up into small pieces. For bars, let it sit for five minutes before slicing.

Notes:

Flaxseeds are small oil seeds. They have gained popularity as a health food due to their high content of heart-healthy omega-3 fats, fibers, and other unique plant compounds. Flaxseeds have been linked to many health benefits, including healthy digestion. Ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal can be found locally at most supermarkets, including Gourmet Glatt and Evergreen.
