Homemade granola


This recipe is almost as easy as making cookies. And way delish-

In a pot, boil until sugar is smooth:

1 ½ C oil

1 C honey

½ C brown sugar

½ t vanilla

dash of salt

(you can double this recipe-but unless you have a gigantic bowl, you’ll want to do 2 separate pans and then have 2 separate mixing bowls too).

Add this to:

15 C regular oats (1 canister oats)

½ C millet

½ C pumpkin seeds

½ C flaxseed or wheat germ

(You can get these ingredients in dry bins at Smith's)


Mix dry mixture in a large mixing bowl. Coat oat mixture thoroughly and then spread onto cookie sheets. Bake each at 375 for 15-20 min or until golden brown. After it is baked, add dried fruit like craisins, raisins, coconut and toasted nuts (almonds). If you have dried strawberries-those are yummy too. Let it cool completely before storing. We love to eat this granola as cereal or with vanilla yogurt. Your husband will love you even more for making this. Great way using up some food storage. Mmmmmm….
