Granola updates. . .

I had heard from a friend that some of the granola recipes have not always worked well for her in the past an so she was wondering if the one I posted below would. She got me thinking and I wondered if others were having trouble too. I thought I'd try to clarify some tips on granola so that everyone achieves success the first time.

After testing the recipe below a few more times, I found that it can be changed slightly depending on personal preference to achieve a crispier, flakier version if that is your preference. You can add up to 2 cups more of coconut. . . to 7 total, making it flakier. Or. . . if you prefer you can drop the pumpkin pulp down from 1 cup to 3/4 and it will achieve the same affect. You can also play with the amount of Coconut oil if you prefer less.

Also remember if you are making granola for the first time you might not realize that it requires patience as you need to toast it on a low heat for a very long time. You also need to stir frequently. I try to schedule granola making for a time when I am going to be in the kitchen anyway so I won't be far from the oven. It can burn easily at the end and it can seem like it's never going to dry-out in the beginning. Another note. . . never use "quick oats" if you are making granola. They will become too moist, gummy and never toast properly.

The great thing about granola recipes is that they are very flexible. . . you can make them your own by tweaking them just a little and they still work. If you ever feel your granola batter has turned out too moist, you can always add additional oats or coconut to change the texture before popping in the oven.

Granola should be customized to your taste. . . you can add whatever you like as far as nuts, seeds and spices are concerned. Think about some of these options for those of us on the protocol:

Sesame seeds Cloves
Chia Seeds Pumpkin Pie Spice
Flax Seeds Nutmeg
Ginger Dried orange or lemon peal

Any protocol allowed nuts
Any organic flavoring extract
Freeze-dried unsweetened berries (Trader Joe's) (never regular dried fruit though. . too sweet and prone to mold)


Blessings and best success with those warm, spicy granola recipes!
