Granola again?


Yes... granola again!! Today is Granola making day as we are almost out. We have granola most mornings in our home because it is healthy, I know what's in it, it's easy to make, and our house smells like a bakery while it's in the oven. I have adapted this recipe from the cookbook More With Less. So here's the recipe. We have it with milk sometimes or with yogurt and fruit or warm or as a snack. It's wonderful!

Preheat oven to 350
6c. old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 C. Wheat Germ
1/2 C. Dry Powder Milk
1/2 C. Chopped nuts
3/4 C. Shredded sweetened Coconut
3/4 C. Dried Fruit (cranberries, raisins, currents, whatever)
2/3 C. Oil
2/3 C. Honey
1 t. Vanilla


Put oats in 9 x 13 pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add dry ingredients. Stir. Then add oil and vanilla. Stir. Then add honey and stir. Bake
in 5 minute increments stirring after each for 15 minutes. Set out untouched until completely cool. Then break up and put in airtight container.
