Homemade Snack Time!

Here's one of the recipes our 21-Day Challengers will be trying out this week.

Granola – Make it into bars or a cereal with whatever ingredients you like. When you make it yourself you’re probably taking in much less salt than in a store-bought bar and you’re generating less trash from wrappers which is great for the planet! Granola is also a good source of protein, particularly if you add nuts in the mix. The key here is to try a couple of different combinations until you find the consistency and flavors you like best.

Recipe
Ingredients

3 cups of oats
¼ cup of vegetable oil
¼ cup of nut butter
½ cup of honey

Optional:

¾ cup of nuts
½ cup of chocolate chips or cacao nibs
¾ cup of raisins or other dried fruits
¾ cup of sunflower seeds

The base formula:

Spread oats on a baking sheet and bake at 300⁰F for 15 min, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, add all of your choice ingredients to a mixing bowl and set aside.
A few minutes before the oats are done add vegetable oil, peanut butter, and honey to a sauce pan. Heat and stir the ingredients until they are well mixed.
Pour the liquid into the mixing bowl and stir together.
Add the oats to the bowl and stir together.
Place the granola into your pan of choice (flat or cupcake) and bake at 300⁰F for 10 min. If you’re making bars I suggest putting the pan in the fridge or freezer after it cools a bit and then cutting to make the bars.

Mixers:

Savory: Nuts! Sunflower seeds, peanut butter (we use the hippie kind with no sugar added, if you use Jif or the like you may need to add less honey)
Sweet: Chocolate chips, protein powder, dried fruit, whatever you find in the bulk section of the grocery store
Get creative!

Modifying the consistency:

If you want bars, you gotta make that stuff stick together. Less oil, more honey, and definitely keep them in the fridge.
If you want cereal, you gotta relax the binding agents. More oil, less honey, and think about keeping it out of the fridge, but it will go stale faster.
Chocolate is a great binding agent. If you put the chips in with the hot oil and granola they melt and help lock the finished bars together. If you want whole chips when you’re done, either sprinkle them on top before baking or throw them in the cereal after it’s cooled down.
Experiment and find what works for you!
