Lately, at night, after dinner, for dessert, I have been having vanilla yogurt with granola, strawberries or blue berries and dark chocolate chips. Well last night I had everything but the granola. Looked up a recipe from Betty Crocker. I didn't have all the ingredients but I had good enough substitutes so here it is my version...and it was the perfect bite!
Preheat oven to 300*
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped almonds, walnuts and/or pecans...to make a cup or use just one type of nut
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup 4 grain cereal mix (Betty called for wheat germ)
1/2 cup maple syrup (Betty called for either maple syrup or honey)
2 tbls oil
Mix all together in a big bowl. Makes sure it is thoroughly mixed. Spread out on a greased cookie sheet. Place in middle of oven. Stir after 20 minutes. Cook another 10 or when granola starts to turn a little brown.
Let sit on cookie sheet until cool. Break up and store in glass mason jar or plastic bag.
It is really easy and tasty you can make a few batches for Christmas presents.
