Toasted Barley and Berry Granola

I make this on a weekly basis; it's great! I never get tired of it and either does my fiance.

I made this recipe exactly as written except that I cut it in half and made just 2 cups and was able to make it in the toaster oven. Great recipe and will make again.

This recipe was easy to make & my first attempt at granola. My changes: used Sucanat sugar instead of brown sugar, used melted expeller-pressed coconut oil instead of canola, doubled the recipe and used 1/2 barley & 1/2 rye flakes. It is very versatile--you could change the seeds/nuts used, try different flakes and dried fruit. The flakes are a little "tough" eaten by themselves. I'm going to soak some in yogurt and milk overnight for my breakfast.

Fast, easy and easily adaptable! I've used toasted almonds and added flax seed as well. Not too sweet and very low fat!
