Great Granola! Recipe
"School Lunch Recipes Online"
Add crunch and fiber to your kid's lunch by including a bag of
this nutty snack mix. This granola also makes a great after-school treat,
especially when blended in with vanilla yogurt. 1/4 cup
butter
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 1/2 cups uncooked, rolled oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped dates
1/3 cup chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a 15-by-10-inch jelly roll
pan. Stir in the brown sugar until combined, then stir in the
oats, almonds, and walnuts. Spread the mixture in an even layer in the pan.
Bake the granola for 12 to 15 minutes or until it is golden
brown, stirring twice during the baking process. Transfer the pan to a wire rack
and cool.
When the mixture is completely cool, stir in the raisins, dates,
apricots, and chocolate chips. Store it in an airtight container.
Makes about 5 1/2 cups. |
