Although this crunchy cereal isn't a low-calorie version of granola, the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats found in peanut butter and almonds make it a better choice than cereals and cereal bars that contain trans-fatty acids. Dried blueberries and cranberries are loaded with antioxidants, but you can use any dried fruit you have on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider
  • 1/3 cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup liquid honey
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 cups large-flake rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup dried blueberries
  • 1/4 cup slivered dried apricots

Preparation

In large saucepan, heat together apple juice, peanut butter, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and salt over medium heat until peanut butter is melted; remove from heat. Stir in oats and almonds.

Spread on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven, stirring occasionally, until light golden, about 15 minutes.

Stir in cranberries, blueberries and apricots; bake until fragrant and golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
