larryhammerThis is my standard granola recipe, adapted from my mother’s. It is sized for my current storage (a sugar jar) but readily doubles if convenient. Measurements need not be exact, so it should readily convert to metric.
Basic Granola
3 cups rolled oats
up to 1 cup add-ins such nuts, seeds, wheat-germ, coconut, &c. (I prefer half sunflower seeds half pepitas, but use whatever’s at hand)
cinnamon to taste (1/2 tsp?)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 honey
(optional: raisins or other small-chunk dried fruit to taste)
Preheat oven to 290F. In a bowl, stir up oats, add-ins, and cinnamon. Add oil and honey, and mix thoroughly (no clumps stuck with honey!). Spread evenly on a cookie sheet and bake for 50 minutes.
When first removed from the oven, stir to prevent sticking. If adding dried fruit, stir that in at this time. After 5 minutes, stir again. Let cool, then store preferably in an airtight container.
