Mango-Agave Granola With Greek Yogurt

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup agave syrup
  • 1/4 cup clover honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds

  • 2 tablespoons flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup diced dried sweetened mango
  • 1 pint 2% Greek yogurt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix the canola oil, agave syrup, honey, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Combine the oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, wheat germ and salt in a large bowl. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir, making sure everything is evenly coated.
