Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Granola

One of my favorite breakfasts is fresh fruit topped with yogurt and granola.  This recipe is easily adapted, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients.



Granola

6 cups grains (I used 3 c. rolled oats, 2 c. steel-cut oats, and 1 c. ground flax seed)
4 cups total of nuts/coconut/sunflower seeds
1 cup dried (or freeze-dried) fruit (I used apples and strawberries)
2 tablespoons cinnamon
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup "liquidy" sweetener (I used honey)
1 teaspoon flavoring (I used vanilla)

Mix everything together, spread out on baking sheets, and bake at 250 degrees for an hour.   Recipe fills a gallon-sized container.
Thanks for the numerous combinations of yummy!

    I've never been a fan of granola - I don't know why because I love all the ingredients.

    That looks mighty good. What type of oil do you use?

This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
