Granola

No, granola has little to do with quilting other than it’s a good healthy snack when you’re so motivated to quilt that you can’t leave the sewing room.  My recipe seems to be well liked by many of my friends so I am sharing here.

4 cups old fashioned oats

2 1/2 cups chopped nuts of various and favorite kinds

1 cup coconut

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cardamom (gives it that little difference that makes it great!)

Mix all in large mixing bowl.

In 2 cup measuring cup mix together

3/4 cup total of maple syrup and honey in proportions to your liking

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

Pour over dry ingredients and stir to moisten all ingredients.  Cover two cookie sheets with parchment paper and pour the mixture onto the two pans. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes and then turn the oven off.  Stir the heated mixture and let sit in the oven overnight or about 6 hours.  Store in covered containers.
