Name: Oat and Nut Granola with Sunflower Seeds
Yield: Makes about 4 cups
Ingredients: 3 cups old-fashioned oats; 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour; 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar; 1/2 cup sliced almonds; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts; 1/2 cup dry nonfat milk powder; 1/4 cup shelled unsalted sunflower seeds; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup vegetable oil; 1/2 cup water; 1/4 cup honey; 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract; 3/4 teaspoon maple extract

"While on vacation in central Utah, I stayed in Bicknell at a wonderful place called The Lodge at Red River Ranch," writes Nancy Schmauder of University Place, Washington. "The granola was a breakfast treat worth getting up for."

This crunchy granola has a touch of sweetness from honey and brown sugar. It makes a great breakfast served with milk, or a good snack eaten plain. Note that it can be made up to two weeks ahead.
