Ingredients:

• For the granola:
• 4 1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup raisins

• Serve with:
• 1 cup fat-free milk, per serving
• fresh berries (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Stir together oatmeal, almonds, cinnamon and salt, if desired, in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk maple syrup, apple juice and vegetable oil; pour over oatmeal mixture and stir to coat thoroughly.

Spread mixture in an even layer onto a 15x12-inch baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring twice during baking time.

Cool mixture in the pan before adding raisins. Store granola in an airtight container. To serve: Pour 1 cup of milk over a heaping 1/2 cup of granola. Top with fresh berries, if desired. Serving suggestion: Instead of milk, top 1 cup of fat-free yogurt with the granola.
