Ah homemade granola. It's a tough one to get exactly how you want it. There a million recipes out there on the web and in cookbooks, and many great options in the stores. I've tried different toasting times and temperatures, varied the ingredients, and I think I've finally found a recipe that I love, and three ways to tweak it! I like granola that is a little more chunky, that has some clusters to it, not just loose oats. These recipes have that. They are pretty dang tasty! Basic granola recipe 3 cups rolled oats (gluten free if you need) 3 Tbsp ground flax seeds 3 Tbsp coconut oil 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup pinch of sea salt, colored if you've got it Method
Tweak #1: Apple Spice Granola To the basic recipe above add:
Tweak #2: Pumpkin Spice Granola (PSG) To the basic recipe above add:
Tweak #3 Banana Granola
I think my new favorite way to eat granola is with a simple chia pudding and vanilla whole milk yogurt, sometime I add some fresh fruit as well. It is just as tasty with milk or any nut milk! I can pop this in a snack bag and munch on it when we're out and about, and I'm thinking it could even be combined with dates to create a nice bar, though I haven't tried that yet. I will have to keep you posted! How do you do your granola?
