Sunday Sweets

Today we made:





I've made this granola for several weeks now.  It's so yummy!  The kids love it so much this batch will be gone before Friday.  


We have tried it with raisins, dried cherries, and apricots.


This week I consider it Sunday Sweets because I threw in a good handful of chocolate chips. 

Mmmmmmmmm chocolate chips . . . . . . . . . . .

Stove Top Granola


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oats then cook and stir until starting to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and spread out on a cookie sheet to cool.
  2. Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Stir in the honey and brown sugar; cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Return the oats to the pan. Cook and stir for another 5 minutes or so. Pour out onto the cookie sheet and spread to cool.
  3. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container and stir in the almonds and dried cranberries. Any additional nuts and fruit can be stirred in at this time also.
