On our recent trip to Spokane and Boise, I had the good fortune to come back with more than just amazing memories... I came back with really great recipes too. This super easy granola recipe is a breeze to make and tastes great. Payton has helped me make two batches so far. We have tried a couple different combinations of add ins too. This particular one with the mini dark chocolates has been a huge hit. For a fun thing to make together, grab your little one or just head to the store yourself and get some delicious ingredients and mix up a batch.
5 C. whole oats (not quick oats)
1/2 C. honey
1/2 C. oil (coconut, olive etc.)
1 C. coconut
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
optional 1/4 c sunflower seeds, or dried fruit, dark chocolate minis, slivered almonds.
Mix all the ingredients well and bake at 350 for 20-25 mins. We waited till after it was cooked to add in the chips and some of the fruit. Experiment with it. Some of the combinations we tried were mango, sunflower seeds, and slivered almonds, and cranberry and almonds, and this last one was slivered almonds, sunflower seeds and the chocolate minis.
A little tip from my experience is to spray your pan before, and then when it is done baking, let it cool completely. When we tried to take it off the cookie sheet before it was cooled, it all crumbled and fell apart. It still tastes great, but you don't have the larger chrunchy pieces for snackin on.
