I had a photo fail today. For some weird reason, I couldn't get my pics to load. So, you will just have to use your imagination for now. Sorry about that.
Made some homemade granola last night. I was inspired by this granola recipe by Ina Garten. Of course, I made some tweeks to it to make it "Raime-fied" though.
My version for homemade granola is:
2 cups rolled oats
2/3 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 to 1 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp cinnamon1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
Directions: Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix. Then add oil and honey and stir until fully dispersed throughout the mixture. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-ish minutes, stirring at least once during the bake time. Let cool.
For variety, I am considering the following add-ins for next time:
cocoa powder (I heart chocolate)
sunflower seeds
pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
pumpkin spice (for fall/seasonal flavor)
dried apples
chocolate chips (after it has cooled off, of course)
Nom nom nom. mmmm granola.
