Mrs G.'s Granola

Here is what you will need:
4 cup old fashioned oats
2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
6 tablespoons warm honey
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups dried tropical fruit mix
1/2 hemp hearts

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.  Lightly spray a metal pan with cooking spray.  Pour granola mix into pan and bake for 15 minutes at 400.  Stir mixture every 5 minutes.

This will make 30 servings of 1/4 cup granola.  The total cost of all ingredients used is around $10 and makes enough to fill the entire canister that the old fashioned oats come in.  I save the container and use it to store my granola!  Buying this much granola would cost twice as much.  With preparing it myself I saved money and was able to add the protein of the hemp hearts to make the snack about 100 calories and 2 grams of crunchy protein.  Not a bad treat!
