Seth has fallen in love with granola. He has a hard time eating yogurt without it all of a sudden. My mother had purchased us some Bare Naked Granola which we loved, but the cost factor kept me going back for more. Instead we are going to give this recipe from Emily at Little Home a try. Since I am low on raisins we are going to substitute Craisins, which we still have plenty of.
Homemade Granola
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
5 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup dry milk
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/2 cup raisins
Mix brown sugar, oil and honey in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Combine dry ingredients in a large cake pan. Pour syrup over dry mixture and mix well. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Let cool in pan. Add raisins and stir. Store in an airtight container. You can also add wheat germ, coconut, nuts, dates and other dried fruit but this will increase the cost of the granola. Makes 5 cups.
Do you have a granola lover in your family? Do you have any hints for me when making granola or a recipe you love and would like to share? I would love to hear from you!
