I made another batch of granola, this time with 2 teaspoons of good cinnamon added.
So good.
I keep it on the kitchen counter in one of those ceramic kitchen essentials holders.
In about a week or so the batch you see is gone.
This time I used as follows:
4 cups old fashion oats
2 cups sweet coconut flakes
1/2 cup cranberries
2 cups slivered almonds
1/2 cups almond slices
60 ml oil
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Tossed to combine in a big bowl and then spread it evenly in this baking sheet.
I baked it at 350 F for approx 25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
I wanted to make granola for a long time, as we both love it! But so far we ate only the bought ones. This cinnamon-tasting sounds great!
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have to stir it during baking? Will it still hold together at the end to be sliced into bars?
I love home made granola. Thanks for the recipe! I just found your blog through foodie blogroll (we're both new to it).
ReplyDeleteJudith - this is the kind of loose granola, just like regular oats or like cereal in a box and I make it for my husband to eat with milk in the morning. I stir it so often because as you know, coconut can burn easily in the oven and because the granola at the edges and on the bottom tends to cook faster.
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet thought of making granola bars, but you gave me a nice idea to think of.
Crystal-glad you found me and hope you will enjoy my blog !
