basically the REAL reason is: buying good plain ol' granola cereal will make you broke. the kind with no ingredients you can't pronounce, that is.
which is why i started making my own. easy peasy. whip up a batch or two on saturday, and breakfast for the week is all of a sudden done. besides milk, or yogurt, or whatever makes your tummy happy.
it made me feel like a fool for ever buying my own for $4 a box that lasted two days by the way.
anyway. on to the granola. also i eyeball everything in this recipe.
my recipe:
3 cups oats (regular or instant)
a sprinkle of cinnamon
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup honey
a splash of vanilla
find a big ol' bowl. or grab your favorite blue one from your mother in law. sprinkle in some cinnamon
then combine the oil, honey, and vanilla. in that order. for the sole purpose of making this cool cellular looking thing. the vanilla is clearly the nucleus.
whisk it up with one of your favorite christmas presents. remove ya rangs, and mix it on up.
parchment paper is essential. nobody feels like scraping honeylicious oats off of their baking sheets.
bake at 300 for 20-25 minutes. it'll still be soft, so pop it in your freezer that is overtaken by vegetables for a few minutes, and then crumble it up for lovely, crunchy granola clusters. i toss mine with raisins and store in an airtight container. i don't know how long it'll last, because i've always eaten it before i could tell.
also, someday maybe i will have a real camera and real photography skills.
enjoy.
