Homemade Granola Without Nuts

"Granola is so expensive in the store and with two kids with tree nut allergies it is always a concern finding granola without traces of tree nuts. This is a tasty and easy granola recipe. I have added honey or cinnamon to mine. The recipe is very flexible depending on your preference."

directions

  • Place brown sugar and water in a large microwavable bowl and dissolve the sugar in the water for 2-3 minutes (I stir after each minute to check on the progress).
  • Add the oatmeal and mix until well coated. Add honey or cinnamon or any other ingrediens you desire. Mix well.
  • Line a couple cookie sheets with parchment paper. (Cookie sheets wih sides will make it easier to stir.) Place the oatmeal mixture in a thin layer onto sheets.
  • Bake at 275 for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Let cool and place into air tight container. Will keep for about 2 weeks.

  1. Great inexpensive simple granola recipe. Cost me $.88 to make this before add ins. This will be a regular for me from now on.
     
  2. I use brown rice syrup, or maple syrup or barley malt syrup. Any dried chopped fruits ramp up the flavor.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am the mother of four young kids. Prior to children I was a special education teacher and after a few years of teaching post children I wanted to stay home. I became an in-home child care provider. It is a great job. I can be home with my young children, be at home afterschool for my older children and work out a schedule that fits my families needs. I also still get to teach which is a passion of mine but not have to worry about handing in lesson plans. I get to see young kids learn all the time. As a childcare provider I do not always get a lot of time to cook. I like meals that are uncomplicated. I love to find foods that my husband or my kids really like. I also like to try recipes that have ingredients that my family doesn't love in hopes that I will find the recipe that will help them enjoy their vegetables or whole grains.
