Preparation

Step 1

*Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
*Line a jelly roll pan with foil.
*Add the honey, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, and cinnamon to a small saucepan and heat on medium low until the honey has dissolved. No need to bring to a boil or anything. It won't take long, 2 minutes at most.
*Add the dry ingredients (oats, wheat germ, flaxseed meal, and walnuts) to a large bowl and give them a toss.
*Now pour the honey mixture on top of the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
*Spread the granola onto an ungreased foil-lined jelly roll pan or cookie sheet.
*Bake for 30 minutes, stirring after 15.
*Allow the granola to cool on the pan. I store my granola in a vacuum seal bag, but any large Ziploc bag will do, just make sure to squeeze out all the air.
