Perhaps it was because today was cloudy or maybe it was a craving, whatever the reason I spent the afternoon in the kitchen cooking up some of this. I made some of Mom's homemade granola but with a few twists to adapt it to my family's liking. It turned out really good and now I need to find a recipe without all the nuts so that Hilary can enjoy it. Here's the recipe I used below:
Mix with wooden spoon in large bowl:
4 cups rolled oats
3 cups bran flakes
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup organic milled flaxseed
1/2 cup protein mix
1 teaspoon salt
In a separate bowl mix and then add to dry ingredients:
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Bake in oven at 275 degrees for 2 hours; stir often.
Cool and add:
1 cup raisins (optional)
2 cups favorite whole grain cereal (I used Cheerios this time)
