MOM'S SIMPLE GRANOLA



Mom's Simple Granola image

My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 8 1 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup brown sugar (or maple sugar)
3/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (or sesame seeds)
1 cup nuts, chopped (or raisins)
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/3 cup maple syrup, sweetest version (or brown rice syrup, slightly milder version)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spread the oats on a rimmed baking pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Transfer the oats to a large mixing bowl, and add the sugar, wheat germ, coconut, seeds, and nuts or raisins. Stir to mix well, then add the oil, syrup,and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is moistened.
  • Spread half of the mixture on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets (or bake in 2 batches), and bake for 10 minutes. Stir after 5 minutes to brown evenly.
  • Let the baked granola cool on the pans, then transfer it to a bowl and stir until crumbly. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Rolled oats are the most common type of oats used in granola, but you can also use other types of oats, such as steel-cut oats or quick-cooking oats. If you use steel-cut oats, you will need to cook them for a longer period of time.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds: This will add flavor and texture to your granola. Some popular nuts and seeds to use include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Sweeten your granola to taste: You can use honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown sugar to sweeten your granola. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add spices for flavor: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular spices to add to granola. You can also add other spices, such as cardamom or cloves, to taste.
  • Bake your granola at a low temperature: This will help to prevent it from burning. The ideal temperature to bake granola is 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Store your granola in an airtight container: Granola will keep for up to two weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Granola is a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a granola that is perfect for you and your family.
