Anytime is granola time. It's great for camping. Mix it with some M&M's and make great trail
food for that energetic Boy Scout. We like it as cereal with either hot or cold milk. And
homemade granola is so much fresher—and we think better—than what you buy in the stores.
Let your imagination run wild when you make granola. The basic ingredients are cereal, oil, and
a sweetener. Then add anything that you like to give it the character, taste, and nutrition that you
want. Remember that kids' tastes are different than yours so make two batches—granola is easy
to make.
Note: The pictured granola was made with rolled oats, rolled wheat, sunflower seeds, brown
sugar, vanilla and orange extracts, walnuts, and dried apples.
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together except for the dried fruit. Set the dried
fruit aside.
2. In another bowl mix the sweetener, oil, and extract together.
3. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. The liquids will be absorbed and
the granola will become darker and shinier.
4. Spread the granola in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for ten minutes. Use a
spatula and turn the granola on the baking sheet. Place the granola back in the oven and bake for
another ten minutes or until fairly dry and starting to brown. Remove the granola from the oven
and stir in the fruit.
