My favorite quick breakfasts is homemade granola stirred with a bit of homemade yogurt or milk — simply divine!
Ingredients:
6 C rolled oats
1/2 C pecans
1/2 C coconut
1/2 C wheat germ (optional)
1/2 C powdered milk (optional – really boosts the protein)
2/3 C honey
2/3 C olive oil or butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 T cinnamon
1 C freeze dried raspberries
1/4 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
– Place your rolled oats on an un-greased 9×13 pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350°.
– Remove from the oven and stir in the nuts, coconut, wheat germ and powdered milk. Add the honey, oil, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until thoroughly coated.
– Bake 10 – 15 minutes, stirring every 3 – 5 minutes until uniformly golden. Do not over-bake.
– Let cool slightly. Add the raspberries and chocolate chips, stirring well.
– Let cool completely in pan, undisturbed, then break into chunks.
