Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, nuts, sesame and sunflower seeds, maple syrup/demerara or brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and salt.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the olive oil, agave or honey, and water. Toss the mixture until it is well combined, then spread it evenly on a cookie sheet.
- Bake the granola until lightly browned, approximately 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to keep the mixture from sticking.
- Set aside to cool completely, then stir in the dried fruit.
- Store left over granola in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- For 1 serving: Spoon yogurt into a serving bowl. Stir the rosewater or orange blossom water into the yogurt (start with a small amount then adjust).
- Top yogurt with some of the granola (about 1/2 cup give or take) and add a light drizzle of agave or honey.
- Enjoy!
