Leftover rolled oats?
April 2013 - Heart Healthy Granola
You'll Need:
- 2 cups of rolled oats (gluten free if necessary)
- Whatever combination of nuts, grated coconut, raisins, and dried fruit that makes you happy. Remember walnuts are high in omega 3s and we like that! I buy most nuts bulk and if possible chopped or sliced so I don’t have to chop or slice them.
- ½ cup Water
- Olive oil (1/8 -1/4 cup)
- Maple Syrup or Honey (2 or 3 tablespoons)
- Rub some olive oil on a cookie sheet
- Preheat oven to 325
- Put the rolled oats in bowl and mix in the other ingredients (except for the raisins and dried fruit)
- Make a little well in the middle and pour in the water, oil, and honey or maple syrup. Aim for about ¾ to a cup of liquid in all.
- Mix well
- Mix a little bit more
- Spread out on the cookie sheet
- Cook for 40 minutes. Every ten minutes or so… grab a spatula and mix it around
- Take it out of the oven, let it cool, put in a container, add in raisins and/or dry fruit
Leftover rolled oats?
- Mix them with mashed up bananas (add nuts and raisins if you want). Make little round balls and drop them on a greased cookie sheet.
- You can bake them with the granola (or separately) at 325 for 20 -30 minutes until lightly browned....
