One of the things we've been trying to do is make are own food and snacks. Part of it's to save money, part of it's to know what we're eating, and the other part is two of our family members are gluten free. After many adjustments to the recipe, I think we found a winner for homemade granola. The kids love to eat as a snack, or sometimes the eat in the morning on top of their yogurt. Either way you eat it, we think it's really good, and want to share it.
8 Cups of Oats
1 Cups Mixed Nuts (or whatever you got)
2 Ripe Bananas
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Honey (or Agave Nectar)
1/4 Cup Molasses (if you got it)
2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Pour your oats into a large bowl. Then chop up the nuts in the blender tell they're a coarse meal and add them to the oats. Then put the bananas into the blender first, then the rest of the ingredients. Blend everything up until it's a liquid. Pour this over the oats and nuts, then mix it with a spoon until all the oats are coated. Spread mixture on to a large greased cookie sheet, preferably with sides on it, and make it as flat as possible with the back of the spoon. Toss the cookie sheet in the oven set at 250 degrees, and cook it for about two hours. Then take it out of the oven and let it cool in the pan. When it's coll enough to handle you can break it up into pieces and enjoy.
