How to Make Low Fat Granola
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, combine: 3 cups rolled oats, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup oat bran, ¼ cup flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger (optional).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: ¼ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup orange juice.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until evenly moistened.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto one or two large baking sheets.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the number of baking sheets used. Thinner layers will cook faster.
- If using chewy dried fruit (like cranberries or apricots), add it to the mixture before baking. Otherwise, stir in ½ cup chopped dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc.) and ½ cup mixed nuts (pistachios, cashews, peanuts, almonds, or a combination) during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
- Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheets before breaking it into clusters and storing in an airtight container.
