Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30

My New Granola Recipe

Posted in Recipes
Here is my new granola recipe.  I love it because it has more coconut and cinnamon and the addition of flax and sunflower seeds make it really yummy.  Enjoy!

Granola

 

6 cups rolled oats

2 cups 5 or 7 rolled grains

2 cups shredded coconut

1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds

1 cup of flax seed

3 tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup coconut oil

1 ½ cup honey

1 tablespoon vanilla (or almond extract)

2 cups chopped nuts (any nuts)

2 cups any dried fruit

 

In a large bowl, combine oats, grains, coconut, nuts, seeds, and cinnamon.

 

In a saucepan, heat oil, honey and vanilla until warm.  This helps the mixture pour easily.  Pour over the oat mixture and stir well.  You may want to mix with your hands to insure everything is mixed.

 

Pour into large roasting pan or two cookie sheets and bake in oven at 275 degrees, stirring every 20 minutes for 2 hours.   

 

After completely cooled, stir in dried fruit.  Store in an air tight container.

I made this today, with a few changes. I dislike sunflower seeds in granola, so I omitted them and added 1/4 cup sesame seeds instead. It came out great! We'll be having it for breakfast and snack this week.

Thanks again!
