Granola

Best Granola Recipes

This Christmas my cousin gave us a big jar of homemade granola with a jar of honey. It was a fantastic present, and we gobbled it up so quickly!

And, it started us on a granola kick of our own and we’ve been experimenting with several recipes.

I love this recipe. When I was in grade 1 (over 30 years ago!) our class made this recipe, and I have held on to it ever since.
The great thing about granola is that you can modify any recipe, adding any seeds, or taking away the nuts.
Enjoy!

This is a recipe that we found on Pinterest that we loved, too!

 

Homemade Peanut Butter Granola

Homemade Peanut Butter Granola: Melt together 2 tablespoons peanut butter and 2 tablespoons honey, add a little cinnamon and vanilla, stir over the oats (1 cup), bake for 8 minutes at 425 degrees, and voila!

 

There is another great recipe for granola in Michael Smith’s new cookbook Family Meals.

Do you have another great recipe for granola we should try?
