Homemade Granola!

March 10, 2012 by onewillisfamily

I enjoy simplicity. Especially when it come to granola. I don’t really like all the raisins and nuts and things in my granola. So here is a basic recipe for granola. Feel free to add whatever you want to it.

  Homemade Granola
from “Baked: New Frontiers in Baking” by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

(Things you could add: I prefer just plain)
1/3 cup whole almonds
1/3 cup whole hazelnuts
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup dried cherries

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, toss the oats with the cinnamon and salt.

In a medium bowl, stir together the oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until completely combined.

Pour the honey mixture over the oats mixture and use your hands to combine them: Gather up some of the mixture in each hand and make a fist. Repeat until all of the oats are coated with the honey mixture.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly, but leave a few clumps here and there for texture.

 Bake for 7 minutes, then remove from the oven and use a metal spatula to lift and flip the granola.
Bake for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool completely.

 If you want to add other ingredients follow these instructions for baking:)
(Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and use a metal spatula to lift and flip the granola. 
Sprinkle the almonds over the granola and return the baking sheet to the oven.
Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and use a metal spatula to lift and flip the granola. Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the granola and return the baking sheet to the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let cool completely. Sprinkle the raisins and cherries over the granola…)

and use your hands to transfer it to an airtight container.

The granola will keep for 1 week.
