Yum.<br /><br />I do have a very good granola recipe. Just a minute and I'll get it.<br /><br />HOMEMADE GRANOLA CRUNCH<br /><br />4 c. oats<br />1 c. flaked coconut<br />1 c. chopped pecans (or walnuts)<br />1/2 c unsalted sunflower seeds (or salted)<br />1 c. raisins (or craisins)<br />1/2 c. wheat germ<br />1/2 c. brown sugar<br />1 t. cinnamon<br />1 t. salt<br />1 t. vanilla<br />1/2 c. veg oil<br />1/2 c. water<br />2 T honey<br />1 c. chopped dates (I don't)<br /><br />Preheat oven to 300* F. Lightly grease cookie sheet or cake pan. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl, except fruit. Combine wet ingredients in separate bowl. Pour wet ingr. over dry ingr. and mix thoroughly. Bake for approx. 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes until golden brown. Add fruit during the last 15 minutes. (I add fruit AFTER the baking). Cool. Store in airtight container.<br /><br />This recipe is a family favorite. The stuff (in parentheses) are my additional comments.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-64430600579689785662012-02-03T09:34:56.417+00:002012-02-03T09:34:56.417+00:00How do they manage to make those banana slices so ...How do they manage to make those banana slices so tough?

If I see the mixed fruits on offer I will use those for a change. They re in Lidl this week at £2.25 for a huge bag, they usually contain apple slices, apricots, prunes, figs and they are nice and soft. Whole nuts are quite expensive but mixed with a bag of chopped ones they give the nutty flavour without breaking the bank. Warm milk for DH and cold for me. I've not tried making Granola as we can buy J*rdans from our mill shop at 3 for £1 so I stock up when its in.<br /><br />Have a lovely day<br />Karen xKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228988475838309316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-53940954010352643692012-02-03T00:05:15.126+00:002012-02-03T00:05:15.126+00:00I make my own muesli too.

I use whichever fruits, seeds and nuts are available at the best prices. I cut up larger fruits like dates with the kitchen scissors. We love it with soy milk and a banana or some thawed, frozen blueberries.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-31828915357783281112012-02-02T22:25:23.291+00:002012-02-02T22:25:23.291+00:00Thanks Liz- less oil more applesauce is a good ide...Thanks Liz- less oil more applesauce is a good idea!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-16357288947973243422012-02-02T22:24:55.966+00:002012-02-02T22:24:55.966+00:00I need to get some sesame seeds I think!I need to get some sesame seeds I think!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-66014227310415170802012-02-02T22:22:24.242+00:002012-02-02T22:22:24.242+00:00thanks pattypan!thanks pattypan!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-91718836566544874932012-02-02T21:59:29.859+00:002012-02-02T21:59:29.859+00:00P.S.

The following recipe is a nice one - if you cannot afford some of the more luxury items, just use what you can afford - after all it is a very forgivin recipe and should be made to fit the purse and not the other way round.<br /><br />Hope it helps<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />x<br /><br />http://tarragonnthyme.blogspot.com/2011/02/granola.htmlPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-59295866903885903962012-02-02T21:07:16.207+00:002012-02-02T21:07:16.207+00:00Yes!

I usually leave out the raisins, though. http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/andys-fairfield-granola-138lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516483442612121049noreply@blogger.com
