I really like granola. It can be eaten so many ways. It can be a healthy snack during the day, pour milk over it and eat it as cereal, add it to yogurt for a little crunch, add craisins and chocolate chips for trail mix... We always have homemade granola on hand. This too is SUPER easy to make, which is essential at our house.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375. In a large stockpot melt the butter, sugar and water. Stir and let simmer for two minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Remove from the heat and stir well until everything is moistened. Put the granola onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 13 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool. Once cooled, break up the granola into pieces. ** Warning - breaking up the granola is the messy part, if you're not careful granola can fly everywhere!**
I got this recipe from here: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/rawsugargranola.htm
We've also made this one: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/honeygranola.htm
and this one: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/peanutbuttergranola.htm
They're all good. They brown sugar recipe is my favorite to eat on its own or as cereal. The honey recipe is my favorite when I make trail mix.
