-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Combine oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, flax and flour in a large bowl.
-
In a small saucepan, melt butter and add maple syrup (or melt together in microwave).
-
Mix well, and pour over dry mixture. Mix to coat thoroughly, making sure oats are moist enough to stick together and start forming clumps. Spread out on a greased cookie sheet.
-
Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until done (make sure not to over-bake depending on the temperature of your oven - granola will appear slightly moist after 20 minutes but will harden as it cools).
-
Allow to cool completely, break into pieces, add raisins as desired and store in an airtight container.
-
*Note: clusters form better if you don't stir at all while baking or while it's cooling.
