Method

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 15"x10" baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, macadamia nuts, coconut, cinnamon, ginger and salt; mix well. In a small saucepan, bring oil, honey, pineapple juice and rum extract just to a boil; remove from heat and pour over oat mixture. Combine well, then spread oat mixture onto the prepared baking pan. Bake granola for 10 minutes; stir well. Bake for another 10 minutes; stir well. Bake for 10 more minutes, then remove from oven. Stir in dried pineapple, and let cool completely. To serve, pour 2/3 cup granola into a serving bowl, and top with 3 ounces of yogurt.

 

Notes: This is a delicious granola, a variation of the standard oats-'n'-raisins versions. It's easy to make and nutritious. It's a great start to the day, and also a great snack!
