High Fiber Green Tea Granola

HollyGolightly's Note:

I got this recipe from Fiber One's web site. Yum! Healthy and Good. Occasionally, I have trouble finding sesame sticks around here and will substitute a cup of Fiber One Original for an even higher fiber, lower calorie treat. Works well either way. 1 serving = 1/2 cup. Cooling time included in cooking time.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 20

• 6 cups Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal
• 1 cup cashew halves
• 1 cup sesame sticks
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup strong brewed green tea (2 bags per 1/2 cup hot water)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• ½ cup chopped dried mango
• ½ cup dried sweetened cranberries

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 250°F Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix cereal, cashews and sesame sticks.
2. In 1-quart saucepan, mix brown sugar, tea, honey and oil. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until brown sugar is melted. Pour mixture over cereal; toss to coat well. Spread mixture in pan.
3. Bake 30 minutes. Stir well. Bake 10 minutes longer. Stir in mangoes and cranberries. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. Store in tightly covered container.

We loved this! We took it on a camping trip and it was a great energy boost. It must have something magic in it b/c my BF proposed on that trip! Thanks for a great recipe!!
