Wintery Granola
I named this recipe Wintery Granola because the flavor profile reminded me of eating apple pie or drinking hot spiced apple cider on a winter day.
I first made it on a rainy Autumn day because I found dried apples in the pantry and apple cider in the refrigerator.
I made Wintery Granola yesterday to satisfy a craving and decided to go ahead and share it even though it's obviously not winter. I like to eat this granola any time of the year, but it always reminds me of winter...
Wintery Granola
½ cup rye flakes
Note: one of my favorite ways to eat granola is as a bowl of cereal in hazelnut or almond milk.
Note: I use as many organic ingredients as I can find, so I rarely include the word "organic" in my list of ingredients.

mixed.
Spread in an even layer in a sheet pan.

Note: If a grain isn't available, substitute with one of the other grains. I like to use this mix of grains because I think it's more interesting than just using one.
