We just returned from San Diego, where we enjoyed a great granola, fruit, and soymilk breakfast that was heated using an espresso machine. The cook told us that they had tried different ways to heat the mixture, but this was the best. Have you heard of this? It was excellent!

Whoops I forgot that you can’t see my blog…(silly) Here is the recipe…
“MOMMY’S GRANOLA”
a.k.a. “Daddy’s Birdseed”
Long story, I have made this granola for years and when my son was small, he would watch Daddy sprinkle it onto his morning cereal. He said one day, “Daddy why are you eating birdseed?” Through the eyes of a child, it must have looked like birdseed.
This recipe, has become a family favorite. You can sprinkle it over cereal, hot oatmeal, yogurt, sprinkle on top of muffins before baking, or eat it by the handful.
I don’t add raisins for a reason. When baking your granola, the raisins get rather hard, and they become rather hard on the teeth you might say, but you can always add them later, or better yet add dried cranberries or other dried fruits. After baking.
So sit back and enjoy our “Daddy’s Birdseed”
——————————————-
MOMMY’S GRANOLA
——————————————-
4 Cups Old Fashioned Oats
1 Cup Wheat Germ
1/2 Oat Bran
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1 teaspoon Sea Salt (optional, for those with no or low salt diets)
—————————————————————–
Mix together the ingredients above
————————————————————
In a separate bowl, mix together ingredients below
———————————————————
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup canola oil (or other high quality vegetable oil)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
——————————————————————
Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix well
Pour granola over 2 large greased cookie sheets (with rims, will be less messy)
Spread as thin as you can and Bake in a 300 oven. (If you have to put on two separate racks in the oven, just remember to rotate them so one of the batches don’t overcook)
Bake for 1 hour or so, turning with a spatula every 20 minutes or so
Don’t overcook, it will get a sort of burnt taste if you do.
The edges will brown faster than the middle, so turn frequently
Cool in the pans. When totally cool, (add additional dried fruits at this point if desired) put in a big Large Ziploc Bag
Label and Date (but it will not last long, anyway, it will be eaten!)

My crew doesn’t really like cold cereal. I have kind of devised a weekly plan of hot meals. Monday-Oatmeal, Tuesday-Muffins(various sorts), Wednesday-Eggs and Toast, Thursday-Biscuits, Friday- Pancakes with a protien source. Saturday is a work day around here and I usually have whatever breakfast breads are left over from the week. The best part about this is that I don’t have to thinktoo hard and I can prepare for the morning the night before. I have this list posted on the side of the fridge and the first one up (that is old enough) can get things started. Works for us.

You make a fabulous point about hot breakfast. We need to get through our immense amount of cold cereal first, but your article for sure reminded me about both eating a good breakfast and using up what you have on hand. I linked this in my Sunday post, as well as your paper control post.

What a great reminder AND a wonderful challenge! I’m looking forward to seeing contributions for ideas, and I sure hope I can think of something, too.
