Add sunflower seeds to the kids morning granola to make the perfect sunshine-y batch – just right for the final days of summer! Whip up a batch now and the first few breakfasts during hectic back-to-school will be a cinch.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oats
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons melted Earth Balance butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Arrange the oats and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter and maple syrup. Drizzle over the oat mixture and sprinkle with the salt.
3. Bake at 300 degrees F for 15 minutes. Stir and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Let cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.

We love this stirred into non-dairy yogurt!
