You will want to start making this Plain Jane granola way before I did. It became a staple on our shelf after making it once. It’s delicious! And has enough variability in how you make it and how you can eat it, to keep you going back for more.

Nutrition Tips:
* Choose ground flax rather than whole flax seeds so you can digest and absorb the healthy omega-3 fats.
* Looking for more soluble fibre? Choose oat bran. Looking for more insoluble fibre? Choose wheat bran.
* Prebiotics are food for your healthy gut bacteria. This granola has plenty!
* There is much less sugar in this granola than processed varieties. Less than 1 teaspoon per 1/4 cup serving. Much less salt too.
* A little goes a long way - this granola has all the filling ingredients - fibre, healthy fats and protein. It keeps you full longer than refined cereals.
Kitchen Tips:
* This recipe easily doubles if your family goes through it quickly.
* You can use 1/4 cup of either honey or maple syrup instead of 1/8 cup of each.
* You can omit the egg white to make it vegan. It just adds to the crunch.
* Choose gluten-free oats and oat bran to make this recipe gluten-free.
* This makes a beautiful gift in a jar or pretty bag.
