I saw a recipe for Toasted Muesli in my Whole Living magazine and was excited to try it. However, I was unable to find the millet that it called for when I was at the store, so I improvised. You can find the original recipe here. I left out the millet and added wheat germ, flax seed, chia seed, and cinnamon. This makes a great healthy breakfast or snack. Eat is plain or serve with yogurt, milk, or fresh fruit.
I was originally unsure the difference between Muesli and Granola, however I believe that most muesli is not sweetened with honey and toasted. So I am just going to call mine granola...
Ingredients:
- 4 cups rolled oats
 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
 - 1 cup shelled pistachios
 - 1/3 cup wheat germ
 - 1/4 cup flax seed
 - 1/4 cup chia seed
 - 2/3 cup dried cranberries
 - 1/2 cup honey
 - 2 tablespoons coconut oil
 - 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
 
This is a great basic recipe that can be altered to create new granola recipes. You could replace the pistachios with any other kind of nut or even chocolate.
