Tree hugging granola eater
Monday, January 16, 2006
Last night I made my first batch of granola. It came out pretty good, though I may experiment with several recipes to find the best one.
4C rolled oats
1C sliced almonds
3TBL Non-fat dried milk
Cinnamon
1/3C honey
1/3C canola oil
2tsp vanilla
1C dried cranberries
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Mix the oats, almonds, dried milk, and cinnamon. Warm the honey, canola, and vanilla for a minute and pour over the dry ingredients. Mix well. Place on cookie sheet and cook for 25 minutes, making sure to stir every 5 minutes. (if you do not it will burn) Remove from oven, mix with dried cranberries and let cool. You can mix and match with this recipe. Use walnuts instead of almonds or raisins instead of cranberries. You can also add sesame seeds and sunflower seeds and/or rolled wheat. Next time, I might get crazy and substitute part peanut butter for the oil.

This sounds good. I am on the hunt for a new granola recipe too! Cool! I will give this one a try soon as it ssounds yummy :)
The original recipe was doubled. It had 4C oats and 4C rolled wheat (whatever that is) and 1/2C each of the honey and oil. It also did not have non-fat dry milk, though every recipe I've ever made did. Good luck and make sure to add the fruit after roasting it. Otherwise the fruit gets crunchy.
