Great Goodness Granola

So over the Juy 4th holiday, I had the family up from Cleveland and Chicago to enjoy the lake and spend some quality time together. We really ejoy eating, so there’s always a bunch of food that we are stuffing our faces with. Once in a while you need a good gut reset with some crunchy, sweet and savory granola on top of a scoop of yogurt is how we like it best.

It’s not an exact science. I actually really just do a little of this and alot of that. What do you like in your granola? Or maybe you need to focus on your dislikes?

  • Oats, we use Gluten Free for personal reasons
  • Nuts, unsalted. I like using chopped almonds, pecans or walnuts. Cashews, peanuts, macadamia, hazelnuts, etc. are all good too.
  • Grains and seeds, flax seed and chia seeds are tops for me. Sesame seeds, black or white are also a nice touch.
  • Dried shaved coconut, if you like it and I know that’s a touchy subject.
  • Maple syrup or honey for sweetness
  • Fats, Butter or Olive Oil depending on your preference
  • Seasonings and herb blend, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, tumeric, ashwaganda, moringa, curry, coriander, salt, pepper, paprika, not all together, but try a few mixes of your favorites. Some folks like cinnamon and nutmeg only. I always add a little salt.
  • Add ons post roasting, these items are best included or served after the granola has baked in the oven and had a chance to cool a bit.
    • Chocolate chips, Butterscotch or peanut butter chips, or other chocolates. If you add the chocolate after you bake the granola and it’s still warm, it melts and adds this clumping action to some of the oats which is also a great treat.
    • Dried fruit, cherries, blueberries, raisins, mango, ginger, apricots, or even apples. The key is if they are big, chop them a bit more to bite size.
  • First things first, get a giant bowl and add all the dried ingredients. I don’t use a measure cup, what I do is add mostly granola, then I add any of the rest of the ingredients I like. The goal when it is mixed up is to get a bite of the add ins with a majority of the scoop being oats.
  • Secondly after you’ve mixed all the dried stuff up, get another bowl for your wet ingredients.
  • I use about a cup of oil and a third cup ish of sweet stuff on a 10 cup batch. When you mix the wet on the dry, everything should be coated a little bit. It doesn’t need to be sloppy wet, but it needs to have some moisture in order to brown nicely.
  • Bake the granola on cookie sheets in one layer at 375 degrees. Make sure you take it out and stir it around a couple different times during the baking process. It can burn easy whe it’s close to being done. I usually bake it between 30 and 45 minutes.
  • There are other folks online with more exact recipes. But it’s honestly just an easy throw in what you like and brown lightly kind of breakfast snack item that I make alot of and store in an airtight container for constant consumption and ease of use.
