Versatile granola. Mix it up with whatever seeds, nuts or dried fruit you have. Try to keep the quantities the same (e.g., if you substitute cashews for almonds, stick with a one half cup amount.) No matter what seeds or nuts you choose, you'll get a hit of fiber, protein and healthy fats. Yields 7 cups.
