  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Mix rolled oats, flax seed meal, steel-cut oats, oat bran, wheat germ, and pecans in a large bowl.

Recipe Note

I'm a huge fan of crunchy granola breakfast cereals, but wanted to make my own so I could change it up now and again. Makes a great addition to yogurt or topping for ice cream.
