Granola time!

Our family really likes crunchy granola! I like to make large batches of different kinds. Today, I whipped up many different "flavors". Since I have been making granola for a long time, I don't use a recipe, I just use "about this much of this". Today I used: Oats (of course),  Vegetable Oil, Raisins, Dried Pineapple, Banana Chips, Walnuts, Almonds, Cranberries, Black Currants, Pumpkin Seeds, Cherries, Sunflowers seeds, Cashews, Cinnamon, Flax Seed, Honey, Maple Syrup, and Brown Sugar (in some batches).   I used unsulfured dried fruit (organic when possible) and I try to use raw seeds too (again organic when possible). YUM!

Sounds good. Break it down for me. What is the veggie oil for?

Hello Fruitful Family and thanks for inquiring! The veggie oil is to aid in toasting the oats properly (I believe... don't quote me on it LOL). I DO know what happens if you DON'T add enough oil, you DON'T end up with granola LOL. You could also us coconut oil and perhaps butter if you do not want to use veggie oil. Granola is fun and easy to make and to us, tastes delightful. Edited by theJfamily on Mar. 15, 2008 at 10:42 PM
