Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unpopped AM Popcorn
  • 4 cup AM Oat Flakes
  • 1 cup AM Wheat Flakes
  • 1 cup AM Barley Flakes
  • 2 cup AM Cracked Wheat
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the unpopped popcorn kernels, oat flakes, wheat flakes, barley flakes, and cracked wheat.
  3. 3
    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey (or preferred sweetener), vegetable oil, and vanilla or mapleine until smooth.
  4. 4
    Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all grains and seeds are evenly coated.
  5. 5
    Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. 6
    Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the granola every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.

    Once cooled, stir in any optional dried fruits, nuts, or seeds if desired.
