I grew up on homemade food. My mom rarely bought mixes and we raised our own vegetables, chicken (eggs) and beef. Dad's hunting added venison to the menu. Mom even made the jam we ate on toast or peanut butter sandwiches. In fact, my youngest brother ate so many PB&J sandwiches that my mom taught him how to make jam. She got tired of making jam every three days! The best food has always come out of Mom's kitchen and her recipes have inspired me and now my daughters to provide homemade tasty nourishing food to family and friends who sit at our tables.
Today's Recipe - Homemade Granola
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup almond slivers
1 cup raw pecans
1/2 cup unsalted raw sunflower seeds
Syrup:
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Heat oven to 300 degrees. Mix oats and nuts in a large bowl. Put syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until honey dissolves. Pour syrup on oats and nuts and mix until all is well coated. Put mixture on a large jelly roll pan that has been oiled and bake for 25 minutes.
Cool, break up, and add dried fruit of your choice. Wonderful with yogurt, with milk, or as a snack.
