I like to make a double batch of this. The recipe is simple, delicious, and makes me happy.
2 c. oatmeal (I've tried kamut and instant oats, but I think regular oatmeal is the best fit.)
2 Tb butter
1 Tb honey
2 Tb brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
Desired additions (raisins, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, dried fruit)
Toast oats on cookie sheet under broiler. Combine butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a pan over low heat on the stove. Cook mixture for one minute then add in toasted oats. Cook and stir mixture for 3-4 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of desired fixings and cook for one more minute. Spread end mixture on cookie sheet and return to warmed oven for 15-30 minutes. (The oven should be warm from broiling, but not on.) This helps the granola crisp up. Keep in an air tight container.
I love my granola sprinkled over yogurt. Sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins are my favorite combo. What would you add to your granola?
