Receta Homemade Granola
I love Granola but have never tried to make my own. Over the week-end I decided to make some. I had all the ingredients, so I thought, what the heck, might as well give it a try. This granola turned out wonderful and it makes about 8 cups. More than enough for me. Enjoy~
- 2 cups regular rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
- 1 cup wheat cereal flakes, crushed
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 1 1/2 t vanilla
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- 1/8 t nutmeg
In a large greased roasting pan, combine oats, nuts, wheat cereal flakes, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, wheat germ and sesame seeds. In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter, honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Drizzle peanut butter mixture over oat mixture; toss to coat.
Bake in a 325 oven about 15 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring mixture every 5 minutes. Remove granola from the oven. Immediately spread on a large piece of foil; cool. Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or seal in freezer bags and freeze up to 1 month.
