granola

if you don’t like the stuff i put in it, the base ingredients are still a great place to start to build your own granola. in fact, i just made some today with nothing in it but the oats, rice krispies and some toasted almonds.

10 C oats
3 C rice krispies
1 C wheat flour
cinnamon to taste
½ C unsweetened coconut
½ C sunflower seeds
1/3 C green pumpkin seeds
1 ¼ C oil
1 ½ C honey
¾ C water
½ C raisins
½ C chopped dates

combine dry ingredients except raisins and dates. heat oil, honey and water until it boils, stirring. pour over dry ingredients and mix until it’s all coated. place on two cookie sheets and cook @ 300 for an hour to an hour and a half, rotating the two pans between the top rack and the bottom rack every 15 minutes. after it’s cool, add the raisins and dates.
