Cinnamon Granola Cereal

I was really craving a good bowl of cereal this morning, but didn't have any! This is my go-to recipe for cereal. The good thing about this recipe is that it is very adaptable. The only ingredients you truly need are oats, oil, and some kind of syrup or honey. The rest is just for fun. You can use any nuts, seeds, fruits, even candies that you want!

Ingredients:

2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup wheat germ (optional)
1/3 cup flax seeds (optional)
1 cup pecans (optional)
1/3 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1/2 cup honey or pancake syrup
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet.
2. Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, mix together the honey/syrup and oil.
4. Add the oil mixture to the cereal mixture.
5. Spread cereal evenly on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, then stir. Bake for 20 minutes more.
7. Remove from oven. If you are adding dried fruits, chocolate chips, or other types of candies/marshmallows, add them at this point.
8. Spread cereal on a piece of foil to cool and dry out some.
9. Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
10. Yum! :)
