How To Make granola
-
Step 1Spread oats out onto baking pan in thin layer
-
Step 2Place in preheated oven. Lowest setting and lightly toast until slight golden color.
-
Step 3Place oats in bowl.
-
Step 4This is where you get creative. Toss in what you like. Peanut. Cashew. Macadamia. Pecan. Walnut. Whatever nuts you like sunflower seeds. Pumpkin seeds... Fruit dried anything. raisin. Dried pineapple. Dried apricot. Dried cherries. Prunes. Dried apple. The more things you add . will cut down the amount needs for each item ..I use 8 nuts and fruits total so I toss a handful of each . But you can make it more fruit and nut or more oat to your taste.
-
Step 5Add cinnamon and ginger to the melted coconut oil and butter Add sugar and honey and mix. If using vanilla this is the time
-
Step 6Pour the mixture over your bowl of oats nuts and fruit and stir and toss to coat.
-
Step 7Spread out on baking tray and back in oven lowest setting for 5 minutes
-
Step 8Remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly. Once cool break into pieces and put in container
-
Step 9You can add chocolate chips but wait until they oats cool some. A bit warm works if ya want a little melt with intact chips
