homemade granola


YUMMY!

I will never buy granola again. Once again this is a take on a foodnetwork recipe. I got the idea from good eats about 2 years ago... So I looked up the recipe, I changed it alot though, to fit what I had available in my cupboard.

My adaptation:

3 cups oats
1/3c. steel cut oats
1/3 c. flax seeds
1 c. shredded sweetened coconut
1/4 c. slivered almonds
1/4 + 2 tbls D. brown sugar
1/4 + 2 tbls Maple Syrup
1/4 canola oil
3/4 salt

Preheat oven to 250.

In a large bowl mix together oats (steel cut and rolled), flax seeds, coconut, almonds, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl mix together oil, maple syrup and salt. Mix the two bowls together until the dry is nicely coated. pour onto 2 baking sheets and bake for 1 hr 15 mins, mixing every 15 minutes.

This was sooo easy! I love to hike, and this will be perfect in a trail mix for the family, and over fruit and yogurt.

yum!! I really do need to eat more yogurt. Apparently it's really healthy for you haha. It makes me gag usually... not because it tastes bad. I just can't handle the texture. Perhaps the homemade granola will add enough crunch to take away the usual gag for me :)

I always buy yogurt and don't eat it. I always forget, and it expires. That changes monday! I start taking lunch to school. :D
