Another way to make granola--using juice instead of oil.
Preheat the oven to 300 F. Mix the flakes, quinoa, spices, and almonds together, then add the vanilla, juice, and honey. Toss well to moisten evenly, then toast on a sheet pan until browned, about 30 minutes, stirring a few times. Add the dried fruit once the cereal is cooked.
