Granola is one of very few foods that are great for you
and you can get your kids to eat it. A lot of store brands
have additives and preservatives. When you make it at
home you know everything that went into it. You can
also make it any way that your family likes it.
Ingredients
4 cups rolled oats, wheat, or barley (any combination)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey, maple syrup, or a thick syrup made with 1/2
cup brown sugar and 2-3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup Canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla and/or other extract
Optional things to add
3/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit
1/2 cup walnuts, almonds, or any nut you like
1/2 cup sunflower seeds or sesame seeds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
1. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together except
for the dried fruit. Set the dried fruit aside.
2. In another bowl mix the sweetener, oil, and extract
together.
3. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
The liquids will be absorbed and the granola will become
darker and shinier.
4. Spread the granola in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 325
degrees for ten minutes. Use a spatula and turn the granola
on the baking sheet. Place the granola back in the oven and
bake for another ten minutes or until fairly dry and starting to
brown. Remove the granola from the oven and stir in the fruit.
Tips
1. Granola will become crispier and crunchier as it cools.
2. Because of the oil, granola will not stay fresh long. Store in
an airtight container and use within two weeks. Freeze for
longer storage.
