Here is a simple granola recipe that can easily be adapted into other flavors. I’ve included options below to make cinnamon pecan and chocolate flavored granola. Be creative! :)
Ingredients:
8 cups rolled oats
10 Tbs. butter
2/3 c. honey granules (or sugar)
1/4 c. honey
Directions:
Place the oats in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the honey granules and honey and stir over medium heat until the honey granules have melted and the mixture is combined. Pour over oats and mix. Line two 15″ by 11″ baking trays with parchment paper. Spread the granola evenly on the two tray. Bake at 300 degrees for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning. Store in an airtight container.
Dehydrator Option: Spread the granola out on dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate at 145 degrees for at least 6 hours (it can be dehydrated longer for crisper granola).
-Other Flavors-
Cinnamon Pecan Granola: Add 1 cup of chopped pecans and 2 Tbs of cinnamon to the oats.
Chocolate Granola: Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the oats.
I’ve been wanting to try this for a while but kept forgetting. Finally made it this morning. I left out the honey granules and instead used 15 drops of stevia. I put 1/4 cup of dark chocolate cocoa. Right now I’m snacking on a cup of it with almond milk and some homemade mint chocolate chips thrown in just for kicks. It’s good, very good!
Awesome! That sounds delicious! :D
