granola in Ziplock bagThis is a fruit filled, quick granola. Makes around 12 cups.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • Advertisement

  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 3 cups nuts
  • 3 cups dried fruit
  • 10 cups quick oatmeal

Directions:

Simmer the apple juice, brown sugar, spices, and salt for 3 to 5 minutes until the sugar melts. Pour it over the oats and stir well. Spread on cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. Cook 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, stir, then shut off the oven, leaving the pans in the oven until the oven is cool. When it is cool, just pick up the parchment paper and make a funnel out of it to pour your granola into your containers for storage. It makes a pretty gift, wrapped in clear bags tied with a ribbon. Include the recipe, because you will be asked for it.

Homemade granola is quick and easy to make, is much better for you than most store-bought granola, and can be eaten as cereal or out of hand. Kids really like it, too.

Does anyone have a recipe for granola?

CRUNCHY GRANOLA

In a large pot, heat just until boiling:

1/2 c. honey
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. veggie oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Advertisement


For smoothness, it helps to add:

1 tsp liquid lethicin(available at health food stores)

Into this liquid, quickly and thoroughly stir:
7 cups rolled oats
1/2 c. unsweetened coconut(optional)
1/2 c. broken English walnuts
1/2 c. raw sunflower seeds
1/2 c. raw pumpkin seeds
Stir until all ingredients are moistened, then spread in a large, shallow roasting pan or on cookie sheets and bake in a preheated 250F oven. Stir often with a spatula during baking. When no more steam escapes during stirring, your cereal is almost done. Test by allowing a small amount to cool and then tasting it, DON'T let the cereal burn or overcook. This recipe should take about l hour to bake, depending on how thinly the mixture is spread in the pans. After cooking, add:
Raisins or other dried fruit to taste (optional)
DON'T add them before baking, or your raisins will resemble bullets! Store cooled cereal in a dry, airtight container. Makes about 2-1/2 pounds.

Variations: use apple juice instead of water
Adding more honey will make a sweeter product.
Vary it to your taste with such things as raw, broken almonds or bits of dried apple.

1/2 cup wheat germ (found in cereal aisle)

Combine in small bowl:

1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
Stir this together quickly to it mixes as well as possible. Pour over the oat mixture and mix with a fork until all is moist. Pour onto a oil sprayed baking sheet and Bake at 275 for 30 min. stirring every 10 minutes to loosen and redistribute. At the last 10 minutes, you can add some shredded coconut. When finished and as it is cooling, stir occasionally or it will set up into chunks. Its better as smaller pieces. You can also add raisins, nuts, other granola ingredients.

In my home a container of oatmeal is used for more than making a bowl of porridge. A portion of it makes granola, which is a good tasting, anytime, inexpensive, and healthy food to make.
