Granola Recipe

Went to Costco and fall in love with its Granola. However, hoping to make it to be less sugary and lighter. Here is a basic recipe works well for me:

Material:

  • Old Fashion Oatmeal ( don't sub with Quick Cook ) 2 cups
  • Canola Oil / Olive Oil 1/4 cup --- Or mix peanut butter with oil to make 1/4 cup
  • Honey 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla Extract 1 Tablespoon
  • Brown Sugar 2 Tablespoon
  • Optional Addition - Walnut, Almond ( total 1 cup )

Mix everything together well. Bake on non-stick baking sheet for at 300F for 30 minutes.

Stir every 15 minutes.

Turn off the oven and let it stand 10 min.

Remove from the oven to cool off. Store in container. Last for about 2 - 3 weeks without refrigeration.

  1. The granola snacks is simply superb! I hid the bulk of them from your last care package, so that they are 'safe' from Aleck and Kaitlyn :-)

  2. For added calcium, you can subsitute brown sugar with dry FF milk powder. It helps the liquid cling to the dry stuff.
