I guess you could say we get stuck in a rut.
For years we ate peanut butter granola. Then it was soaked granola. I didn't even look for another recipe. We liked our granola recipe so well. But recently I was looking for a change and tried this Graham Granola. It was love at first taste.
This granola has the flavor of a graham cracker and our children love it. Ed is known to pull this out for a bowl before bed. With warmer weather coming (We hope! Last night we had a frost that blackened the leaves of the potatoes.) we will turn more often to simple breakfast of yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit.
Graham Granola
6 cups quick oatmeal
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup coconut
1 1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup honey
1 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
Mix dry ingredients together. Melt butter and honey together in saucepan. Pour over dry ingredients and stir well. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Stir every 15 minutes.
I double this recipe, place it on two jelly roll pans and put both in the oven at the same time. Halfway through, I rotate the pans from the top to the bottom rack.
This sounds yummy. I think I'll make some tomorrow :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYummy! This sounds so good and I love that its so simple. We get in a rut too and something different is always so nice. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

sounds delicious! We fall in love with a granola recipe for a year or so, it seems.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I definitely want to give this a try. It sounds really good. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds good. How long can you store it?
ReplyDeleteIt keep for several weeks in an air tight container. I prefer to store it in the freezer so it stays super fresh. I actually like to eat it straight out of the freezer. When I add the milk, it thaws but makes the milk super cold.

Gina, did you use unsalted or salted butter? Generally in your recipes when it calls for butter, do you use salted?
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog! Karen

DeleteI typically use salted butter unless I specifically list unsalted butter.

Hi Gina, I've just discovered your blog this week as I was searching for a recipe, and I've really enjoyed reading through the archives and trying new recipes! Just wondering if you think I could substitute the coconut with walnut pieces or slivered almonds without compromising the taste in the granola? Thanks!

DeleteI think nuts would be a great addition to the granola!

I've made this a couple times now, and I love it! My girls like to eat the clumps. The only problem is that I can't seem to stop eating it! I did one cup of coconut oil, and half cup butter,and half the salt. Thanks for another great recipe.
DeleteThis sounds yummy. I’m looking for something to make with graham flour so I imagine I can substitute the flour for graham flour. Do you mean unsweetened coconut flakes?
