We did a pantry purge this morning and we have a batch of granola cooking the oven. It's a great way to use up all the nuts, dried fruit, & seeds you might have accumulated. You can use any variation of what you may have, there is no set recipe for granola so feel free to experiment and try different things.
My daughter helped me crack peanuts for about 5 minutes and then mommy had to finish to the rest, but it was a great way to include her besides her regular pouring job.
What we had in our pantry:
- 3 cups granola
- 1 cup almond slices
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Trader Joe's Coconut Cashews
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- sprinkle with salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- handful of Craisins andr raisins
Put this in a pre heated 350 degree oven for 1/2 hour or so and stir occasionally. The darker it gets, the more crunchy it will be when it cools. Enjoy !
