Conjured up this recipe because I got pissed with the prices of the granola in stores that cost and arm and a leg and don’t have nearly as much good stuff in theirs as I put in mine 🙂
BUT REMEMBER you can add or remove whatever you choose to make your granola ‘uniquely- yours’!
ACAOF Granola
Here’s what you’ll need:
– baking sheet
– 1 cup oats
– 1 cup nuts of your choice (as many varieties as you like to equal a cup)
– 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
– 1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruit of your choice
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1 tsp nutmeg
– cap full of vanilla
– 1/3 cup canola oil
– 1 pinch of cayenne (yes cayenne! Add a little spice in ya’ life!) Also aids in the digestive system 🙂
– 1/2 tsp salt
-cooking spray
– 1/2 cup Agave nectar or a light syrup such as Karo is good or even honey for a binding agent
Here’s what you do:
-Pre-heat oven to 450
-Combine and mix thoroughly ALL dry ingredients with canola oil
-Spread out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for approx 6-7 minutes or until you smell the toasted mix
-Reduce oven temp to 400
-Pour toasted mix into a large bowl and add nectar/syrup and mix well until evenly distributed
Note: the more nectar/syrup added the more solid your granola will be (excellent for snacking by itself)
the less nectar/syrup added the less solid your granola will be (excellent for a topping for yogurt or fruit)
-Spread sticky mix out onto a greased(cooking spray) baking sheet and bake on 400 for 10 minutes or until you smell the sticky mixture toasting
-Let cool for 15-20 minutes and enjoy!
Make it a Great Homemade Granola Tasting Day!
