We woke up this morning to a lovely thunderstorm and the kids both brought a host of stuffed animals downstairs to cuddle with on the couch while they watched some morning public television.
After I while, I asked Lucy if she wanted to help me in the kitchen and we dragged a stool over to the counter and she happily climbed on top ready for instructions.
We poured the following into a big bowl:
4 cups of quick oats
1 cup of sunflower seeds (shelled)
1/3 cup of flour
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
a pinch of brown sugar (mostly to make it interesting for Lucy--she likes to taste the sugar :)
We mixed it all around with a big wooden spoon. Then I heated the following in the microwave for about 1.5 minutes
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
We poured that over the mixture and spread it out on a greased cookie sheet.
We put it in the oven at 325 degrees for 20 minutes.
Let it cool and break it up and there you have it! Homemade granola.
Delicious!
And it makes the amount of a box of granola which tends to run $4.00 or so. This will cost about a total of $2.00
Try it!!!
