Healthy Granola

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but since I don't eat eggs or bacon (well, I try not to eat bacon) I am constantly looking for a healthy breakfast alternative which provides lots of protein. Soy isn't my bag either so tofurkey and the like don't work for me. Cereal for breakfast necessitates a hobbit-like need for a second breakfast around 9 or so. So, I came up with this granola recipe which when served with Stonyfield non-fat yogurt was delish and kept my pregnant tummy full until noon.

Healthy Granola

Raw oats, flax meal, chopped almonds, and wheat or oat bran in a mix you like to equal 4 cups or so

Frozen orange juice concentrate 2/3 cup or so

brown sugar 1/2 cup or so

vegetable oil -about 1/2 cup or so

Mix the liquids up in a measuring cup and slowly drizzle over the dry ingredients in a sheet pan until the mixture is crumbly, but not sticky.

Back at around 300 degrees for 30-45 minutes. After it cools add dried fruit (I added cranberries, yum)
