Granola is super good for you and your kids. All the seeds and nuts provide so many beneficial vitamins, minerals, fats and proteins. It’s also a great recipe to experiment with. Hungry Nation’s 'Tamra Davis Cooking Show' features great recipes for cooking delicious meals and food for your family. Tamra is a real Mom cooking real food. New episodes every Thursday. Hungry Nation Website: Twitter: Recipe: Granola (Makes 6 cups) 3 cups of organic oats 1 cup of shredded coconut (sweetened or not) 1 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans) ½ cup of seeds (sesame seeds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds) ½ teaspoon of salt ½ a cup of honey or maple syrup 1/3 a cup of sunflower oil ¼ cup of apple or orange juice 1 teaspoon of vanilla 1 cup of chopped dried fruit (raisins, dried apricots, apples, cranberries…) Heat oven to 350. Add all the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Stir it up. Add the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl and stir them up. Pour wet over dry and coat thoroughly. Lay the granola flat and even in a shallow pan (best is a heavy duty baking sheet with edges). Make sure it is not more than one inch thick or you may need to use two pans. Bake for about 20 minutes. You need to check and stir it up after about 10 minutes. Don’t let it burn. Transfer back to the bowl and stir in dried fruit once it’s cooled a bit. Serve with your favorite milk or yogurt. Store the rest in an airtight jar. *I’ve been making homemade Granola Bars for the kids lately. I take the Granola and put it in a food processor with just enough flax oil, butter and honey so it can stick together. You can add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar here. Then I add a few organic chocolate chips and form it into a shape on my silpat that’s sitting on my cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 375.
