You can also add bits of candied ginger if you like it.

Also, flax seeds. I don’t tend to measure when I make granola.

wish i could remember where i got this recipe from, but here’s how i make granola:

2 c oatmeal
1/2 c chopped nuts
1/3 c raisins or craisins or both
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt

1/3 c honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
2 T oil (i use olive cause that’s what i have)

mix it on up and bake on a cookie sheet 350 for 20 minutes. i stir it occasionally so it gets equally brown. it doesn’t clump but it sure is tasty. you can add coconut and whatever else you like too.

That’s great that you made your own granola. It’s not something I’m up for attempting anytime soon. When I was still working for the bakery, we would bake up to 50 industrial size trays a day, which had to broken up by hand and packaged into 1lb. bags. I still haven’t gotten over it, haha. I think it’ll be a long while before I make granola in my own house!!!

Oh, and P.S. Pushkin is RIDICULOUSLY cute in that last photo.

I think I’ll have to try some of this when I get bored with my current porridge phase – we are heading into winter down here in Oz so a hot breakfast is good.

I usually make muesli in the summer and soak it in apple juice overnight. Totally different texture to granola but I would guess still reasonably low sugar as the only sweetness comes from the dried fruit and apple juice.

Finally, granola recipes from someone who agrees with me that store bought is just to sweet! Thanks so much for the inspiration to make my own.

OMG I’ve always wanted to make my own, especially since store-bought has SO much fat in it. Must put this on my list of stuff to do!

I haven’t tried using applesauce – thanks for the tip! I’ve been making granola for the last few months, trying for something nutty and crunchy with “clusters” but very low sugar. So far my formula for the wet mixture is about 1/3 c maple syrup + 1/2 peanut butter, to about 5 cups of rolled oats. That keeps the sugar where I want it, but leaves it not quite clumpy enough. I’m hoping applesauce will be the magic missing ingredient!

YAY! The granola process appears! I’m telling you, I crave my mom’s homemade granola to this day. For the longest time, I didn’t even realize you could just buy granola – I thought you just made it. You do if you want something super yummy! ;)

I love seeing the methods for using non-sugar sweeteners. Very nice. Makes me crazy kinds of hungry.

Puuuuussshhhhkiiiinnnn!!!!! Smooch!
