I absolutely LOVE granola. Obsessively. But store-bought granola is expensive, loaded with calories and often loaded with ingredients (some mysterious) that I don't particularly want every single time I eat it. The homemade granola recipes I have come across are great but always time consuming. And the ingredient list is so long I would go broke stocking the pantry! Last night I tried making a low-impact, small-batch amount of granola using just four ingredients and 10 minutes of baking time. The result was complete success!!! Try this....
GRANOLA (low fat and gluten free!)
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
1 scant tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients together in a bowl using a spoon at first, then your fingers as it will get sticky! Spread out oat mixture onto a small sheet pan, spreading evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, checking on it after 5 to mix it up a bit and to make sure it is not toasting too quickly. Let cool to room temperature where it will crisp up. YUM!
