Last year I got this great idea to start eating greek yogurt. I'm not a big yogurt fan but I love it with granola. Guess what? My family does too. We learned this fact when they were eating a box of granola a day. It gets expensive. Especially when we have to search for a gluten free kind. So, I decided to make it myself. My last batch was great. And half of it was gone by morning, so my kids must agree. Here is the recipe. I triple it when I make it.
Granola
3 c rolled oats
3 T brown sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
1/3 c honey
1/4 c coconut oil (you can substitute any oil)
1 t vanilla
1/2 c chopped pecans (can use slivered almonds)
1/2 c sunflower seeds
3/4 c rice krispies
1/2 c coconut
1/2 c dried fruit (I used apricots).
Preheat your oven to 300.
Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, honey , salt, oil and vanilla in a saucepan and mix to combine. Bring to a boil and then take off heat.
In a large bowl combine oats, pecans, sunflower seeds and coconut. Pour sugar mixture over the top. Stir until everything is wet.
Then you spread this wet mixture about 1/2 inch thick on a cookie sheet that you have sprayed with cooking spray (or rubbed with oil).
Bake until the top is a golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Place browned ingredients into a large bowl and add dried fruit and rice krispies. Stir to combine.
Good luck keeping it in the house. It's great. And mostly healthy.
