Low Fat Granola with Millet

Low Fat Granola with Millet
6 cup oats (not quick)
1/2 c. millet (regular, uncooked)
1 c. dessicated coconut
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
1/4 c. flax seeds or ground flax
1/2 c. wheat germ
1 c. pecans (or any kind of nut)
1 generous T. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. ground cardamom
dash of salt
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 - 1 c. maple syrup
orange juice

Heat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients from the oats down to salt. Drizzle in the maple syrup and stir well with a wooden spoon to get everything coated. Needs more liquids? Add in some more maple syrup or a bit of orange juice.

Spread the mix out into a large baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, checking and stirring occasionally so that nothing burns. Add in the raisins and cranberries and bake until the granola turns golden and crisp, again making sure things don't get too golden. Remove from oven and cool. Store in a sealed container. Serve with fresh fruit and yogurt.
