Edit
One search through my posted two different granola recipes over the years. While homemade granola is a large breakfast favourite, I larn bored of the same recipe in addition to then I'm ever looking forrad to the side past times side batch.
This latest recipe is a good, basic recipe that tin easily live adjusted to what you've got on hand. Maple syrup in addition to brownish carbohydrate are the sweeteners here. I love the depth of flavor that these have. You tin substitute dear or agave instead, or role all maple syrup if you've got deep pockets (maple syrup, why you lot in addition to then expensive?). If you lot don't similar kokosnoot or sesame seeds operate out them out or throw inwards something else to accept its place. Improvise! It's your breakfast!
While you lot tin cutting this batch inwards one-half if you're but i person, I create similar to brand a large heaping amount. See that jounce upward there? It's a large i in addition to this recipe fills it but to a greater extent than than one-half full. It lasts a calendar week in addition to sometimes less amongst but the two of us. But don't fright huge amounts of granola, it does final several weeks equally long equally it's kept inwards an air-tight container.
As you lot tin see, there's no fruit here. I forgot to add together whatever into my batch, but that's okay because they tin ever live sprinkled on over overstep later. And if you've got fresh fruit on hand, toss roughly into your bowl along amongst a salubrious dollop of Greek yogurt in addition to you've got yourself a groovy novel argue to wake upward early on tomorrow morning.
