Granola recipe
The Wife is a big granola fan, and I thought this recipe might be of interest to others as well. (Am I supposed to call it “DIY Granola”?) The recipe comes from 5 Second Rule, and the post there explains some of the details—such as when to add pistachios. Here’s the ingredient list:
Makes 10 to 12 cups
4 cups rolled oats
3 cups unsweetened, natural coconut
2 teaspoons ground cardamon
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups shelled, unsalted pistachios
3/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup golden raisins
Clearly this is something you can tailor to your taste. See full recipe here. I would certainly add cinnamon (good for diabetics) and drop the coconut. Instead of agave nectar, I would probably use blackstrap molasses (calcium, potassium, iron). And so on.
