This recipe was adapted from one made by the 4-H Multiologist Club, Lincoln County, Oregon 2010.

“We have been studying Oregon’s commodities. This recipe was adapted to create an energizing and healthy granola mix that incorporates many tasty products that are grown in our state. We doubled the batch and made one wheat free and one regular. We also used apricot nectar in one batch and peach nectar in the other. This is great as a snack or in a bowl with milk. YUM!” – Shelley Spangler, 4-H Multiologist Club, Newport
