Homemade Granola in the Actifry

Today is Registered Dietitian Day!! In honor of this special day I made my coworkers homemade granola in the ActiFry. It turned just right with so much less fat than tradition granola! I placed the granola in recycled jelly jars. For an added touch I placed a decorative cupcake wrapper on the top and tied a string with handmade name tag. The stickers on the jar reads “energy in a jar”. Perfect snack during a long day!

Ingredients:
2 cups of rolled oats
3/4 cup slivered almonds and/or pumpkin seeds
2 tsp milled flaxseed
1/6 cup dried blueberries
1/6 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1 TB canola oil

Directions:

Place all ingredients in bowl except for dried fruit. Mix well to incorporate. Place the mix into the ActiFry. Set timer for 7 minutes. Once timer does off add dried fruit and set timer for 3 additional minutes. Once the time has elapsed spread the granola onto a sheet pan to cool. Enjoy! We like it best in our yogurt!!!
