This is one of those recipes that I've made for quite some time and I can't figure out why I never blogged about it before. As I've mentioned a hundred or so times, I am always looking for something different to make for breakfast because I eat my breakfast at work every day.
When I came across this granola recipe I immediately thought of all of the things I could do with it aside from making it with the pears as stated in the original recipe. I eat this at least once a month with berries and mixed in with vanilla yogurt.

Ingredients:
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, honey, vanilla and salt over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, combine the oats, pecans and flax seed in a large bowl.
3. Preheat the oven to 300 and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
4. Pour the butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Spread the oats out on the silpat or parchment paper into a even layer.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once to ensure the oats are browning evenly.
6. Let cool to room temperature before serving or transferring to a container for storage.
The smell of the brown sugar and honey melting is mouth-watering but once you put the oats in the oven to bake, the smell intensifies until this sugary sweet oatmeal smell takes over your kitchen.
