Granola

My sister-in-law gave us

homemade granola for Christmas.

 

It was delicious and didn't

last very long.

 

I asked for the recipe.

She obliged.

A batch has already been made and enjoyed.

Here's how it works: 

 gather ingredients and equipment

 

stir together

 

 bake in 10 minute increments

 

add almonds and back in the oven

 

mmm - golden and delicious.

 

This is the recipe as I made it:

 

3 C. rolled oats

1 generous tsp. cinnamon

1/3 C ground flaxseed

3 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. oil

1/4 C honey

1/4 C brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 C whole almonds

1/3 C sunflower nuts

 

Preheat the oven to 325F. 

Toss the oats, flaxseed and cinnamon together.

Mix honey, oil, sugar, and vanilla in a separate bowl.

Pour over oat mixture and

mix well.

Spread on cookie sheet covered with

parchment paper.

Bake 10 minutes. Stir.

Add almonds.

Bake 10 minutes.  Stir.

Add sunflower nuts.

Bake 10 minutes. 

Turn oven off but leave in oven

another 5 minutes.

 

My SIL used 2 cups of oats,

no flaxseed,

1/3 C almonds

 and added

pistachios(rather than sunflower nuts)

 and 2/3 C craisins

 (after cooling for several minutes). 

 

Tasty by the handful

or with milk and blueberries!
