Flax Granola
Really yummy, and way less expensive than buying it in the store. I was looking for a recipe with less oil, and the fruit juices add awesome flavour. Try adding whatever nuts & dried fruit you like, I almost never make this recipe the same way twice. I got the basic recipe from myrecipes.com but made a few tweaks to my liking.

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl.
- Combine the juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 2/3 cup.
- Remove from heat; stir in honey. Slowly pour juice mixture and oil over oat mixture, tossing to coat.
- Spread oat mixture evenly onto two baking pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 40 minutes or until golden, stirring frequently (keep an eye on it while cooking, the sugars in the juice cause it to brown really quickly).
- Cool slightly; add apricots and craisins. Cool completely, and store in an airtight container.
