Granola Recipe


One of our most valued foods at our homestead is granola. We make it in big batches but we never seem to make enough. Since we eat so much of it we're going to have produce all the items needed for it. So far we are growing most but we still have a way to go but we're getting there. There are many different granola recipes but here is mine.

Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees

Mix in a large container -
Two bins of old fashioned oats
1/2 lb each of rolled wheat, rye, and spelt (or bag of mixed rolled grains)
1/2 lb of almonds
1/2 lb of pecans
sesame seeds
dried coconut
(any other seeds or dried ingredients you would like to add)
some of the following: cinnamon, dried ginger, and nutmeg.

In a smaller bowl-
Add about 3-4 cups of your dry mix
pour 1/3 cup honey (more will give you granola bar consistency)on dry ingredients
pour 1tsp vanilla on honey

Using a plastic mixing spatula mix all ingredients then evenly distribute on cookie sheet or a flat cooking pan.

Put in oven for 15 min. Mix to evenly toast and put in for another 15 min.Once cool add raisins and sultanas (or any other dried fruit) and your all set. Enjoy!
