Homemade Granola






Sharing another recipe we've been making here for a few years now.  We love this version and have gifted it many times.  I use organic/non gmo ingredients.


 
Homemade Granola

4 C old fashioned oats
2 C quick oats (not instant)
1/2 C powdered nonfat milk
1/2 C ground flaxseed
1/2 C toasted wheat germ
1/4 C sesame seeds
1 Tbs ground cinnamon
1/2 chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 C canola oil
1/2 C honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1C dried fruit (optional)


Lightly oil an 11 by 17 in cake pan (or 2 9x13.) with canola oil and set aside.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, milk powder, flaxseed, wheat germ, sesame seeds, cinnamon, walnuts and salt.  Mix well.

Pour oil and honey into a 1 cup measuring cup and heat in microwave for one minute.  Add extract.  Pour over oat mixture and stir in well, breaking up clumps as you go.  Pour granola into oiled pan and spread out in and even layer.

Place pan on center rack in oven, and bake for 30 minutes, stirring well every 10 min.  Remove pan from oven and allow granola to cool.  Stir in dried fruit, if desired.  Store in air tight container.  Makes about 8 cups. 

Enjoy!

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
