Light and crunchy granola

I have posted a recipe before for a really yummy Nutty Granola. It is good with yogurt, or just by itself as a snack.
Since we've been trying to shave calories and shed pounds I went on the search for another, lighter variation.
Light and Crunchy Granola
4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 Tbs butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dried fruit
1/2 cup orange juice
Preheat to 350
Soak the fruit in OJ and set aside. Melt the butter, and toss all ingredients together. Spread onto a cookie sheet and bake until golden 20-25 minutes. Stir once or twice.

The result? Good. Not Great.

But not as good as the nutty sweet and crunchy granola. I wonder why?

Good enough to sprinkle on my yogurt for that bit of crunch.

Yall enjoy,

Sandi
