So, I started out with the new recipe. I made sure I had at least most of the ingredients before I started out. And, I followed the recipe to the letter, in regards to stopping the cooking half way though, to mix it, and turn it, so it all got toasty and crisp.
The finished granola
Once I figured that part out, then I experimented, and have now come up with a variation on the recipe.
1 cup of honey, heated so it is easy to pour, like the earlier recipe.
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup of chopped raw almonds
1 cup of chopped pecans
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 of sesame seeds
and a handful of raisins added in the last ten minutes of cooking.
Mix it all together, bake it on a cookie pan, so it is not too deep and can brown evenly.
Serve it up with milk or home-made yogurt, and you’ll be fine.
Now, we go through this about once every week or so. It is good to munch on, which is one of the other issues I have had to deal with, with not buying preprocessed food. What to keep in the house to munch on. (which I will write about soon, in how we made our own energy bars, twice, and still haven’t eaten them all. )
And I’ll write soon about my yogurt making, which, actually has gone rather well, so far.
