Maple Walnut Granola

I made this recipe on the weekend and shared it with an MFP friend and thought others may enjoy it as well.
It's from the Eat Right for your Type (blood) book by Dr. P. D'Adamo

It is so delicious and tastes even better because I made it!

Maple Walnut Granola

4 cups of rolled oats
1 cup rice bran
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tspn vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl combine the oats, rice bran, dried fruit, nuts and vanilla. Add the oil and stir evenly.

Pour in maple syrup and mix well until evenly moistened. Mixture should be crumbly and sticky. Spread mixture in a cookie tray and bake for 90 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even toasting until mixture is golden brown and dry.

Cool well and store in an airtight container.
