Ingredients:

• 2 cups organic rolled oats
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/4 cup flaxseed
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup almonds or pecans, slices or pieces
• 2 tablespoons poppy seed
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons apple juice
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup currants or chopped dates

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a sheet pan and set aside. Combine all the dry ingredients, excluding the cranberries and the currants, in a bowl. Combine all the wet ingredients in a large bowl, add the dry ingredients, and, with plastic sandwich bangs on your hands, toss together until well combined. Spread out on the oiled sheet pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Stir often with a spatula for even cooking. Add the currants and cranberries after the granola is baked. Cool completely, then store in a reseablable plastic bag. Enjoy with soymilk. Chopra granola makes a good snack at any time of the day.
