My husband has always called me a cereal killer because I can polish off a box of cereal in no time. I could eat cereal for breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, well, you get the point. Unfortunately, though, the cost of a box of cereal these days has made me think twice about throwing it into my cart. I have started making homemade granola and eating it as my cereal. I have had this recipe for some time, and don't remember where I originally obtained it. I have made modifications to suit my taste. You can do so as well.
Homemade Granola
6 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup raisins
1 cup honey
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
Mix all ingredients together. Note that this will be a very dry and stiff mixture, so either mix by hand with a large wooden spoon or use a high powered mixer with a cookie paddle. Cook spread as thin as possible at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
Yum :)
ReplyDeleteI use brown sugar in mine, and I bet you could do a combination of both if you wanted!
