Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Crunchy, aromatic with vanilla and coconut, nutty, and slightly sweet, this Healthy Granola Recipe is easy to make and sure to become a favorite in your house. Store-bought granola will soon become a thing of the past!
What was your cereal of choice as a kid? I usually gravitated towards less sweet things, like Cheerios and Grape Nuts. But then there was the random favorite, Honey Smacks (you know, the red box with the cute frog on it!), which was basically pure sugar, lol!…
Spiced Maple Pecan Muesli Granola is a delicious cross between muesli and granola; it’s richly spiced and aromatic with maple and makes a beautiful breakfast on a busy morning. I’m not really a big cereal eater; actually, even as a kid cereal wasn’t really my thing. There were a couple flavors I liked, but they were older people-type cereals, like Shredded Wheat and Grape Nuts, rather than the sugary kinds most lids preferred (but I did have a soft spot for Cinnamon Toast Crunch!). I was always a bit odd, lol....

Coconut Butterscotch Granola Cookies are the perfect cookie to ship to loved ones for the holidays; they ship well, feature nutritious ingredients like coconut, granola, and hemp seed hearts, and are packed with coconut-butterscotch flavor. Life can be so unexpected sometimes. Four Christmases ago, my entire family was in Buffalo and we spent every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year together; it was what we were used to. We never anticipated it not being the norm, so we almost took it for granted....
We all know not to judge a book by its cover. I think that same adage should wholeheartedly be applied to food....
So, granola. I won’t even try to sell you on it because I know you’re probably already a fan. And if you are, you will probably be interested in my Pumpkin Spice Granola, which is one of my all-time favs. And if you’re not, I’d say avert your eyes or X out of this window…but I’m not going to say that because this granola is so unlike a traditional granola that you might just like it....
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola is perfect for keeping on hand for quick breakfasts throughout the week! I try not to, but every time my pantry granola stash runs low I have a strange sense of urgency to hurry up and make a new batch. I have no idea why this is, but for some strange reason granola has that effect on me…I guess I just love having it around....
Along with apples, oats are one thing I try to eat every day (gosh, I sound like a horse when I put it like that, lol! Even more so when I mention that I drink bucket loads of water too). Oh well, it’s delicious to me! I like oats in any form (oatmeal, granola, cookies, breads, etc.), and I especially enjoy eating them for breakfast, so I was thrilled when I recently had the opportunity to try out some Love Grown granola....
This recipe is really versatile, since you can add any kind of dried fruit, nuts, and cereal you like. This granola is great by itself, with milk, with yogurt, on ice cream, or even on top of your morning oats (it doesn’t get much better than oats on top of oats!). :) Mixed Berry and Almond Granola (Yield: About 10 c) 4 c rolled oats ¾ c honey 6 TB salted butter or canola oil (if using canola oil, add ½ tsp salt) 2 TB virgin coconut oil ~1 tsp cinnamon (more or less depending on your taste; you could also use pumpkin pie […]...
