Granola is pecan and craisins. Definitely make it at home instead of buying it.

Cost of the granola is $9.01 total or 81¢ per 11 ounces instead of 2.69 for Walmart brand granola.

Here’s the recipe my mom makes: (GPT reworded the instructions because copyright reasons)

Homemade Granola

Servings: 30 (2 Tbsp each)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups quinoa flakes (or gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats)
  • ½ cup sliced raw almonds
  • ½ cup chopped raw walnuts
  • ½ cup shredded unsweetened dried coconut
  • ¼ cup chopped dried apricots
  • ¼ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp extra-virgin organic coconut oil
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine quinoa flakes, almonds, walnuts, coconut, apricots, cranberries, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan over low heat, stir maple syrup, coconut oil, and applesauce constantly for 4 to 5 minutes until the oil has melted. Remove from heat.
  5. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is light golden brown and crisp.
  8. Let granola cool completely (it will crisp up more as it cools).
  9. Store in an airtight container.

Variations

Substitute ½ cup of walnuts or almonds with:

  • Cashews
  • Toasted pecans
  • Pine nuts

Serving Suggestion

Serve ¾ cup reduced-fat (2%) yogurt topped with:

  • 2 Tbsp granola
  • ½ cup mixed berries

You can’t copyright a recipe, FYI.

ChatGPTs system prompt thinks you can. Which is ironic.

It will also refuse to download specific recipes for you.

I uploaded that as a photo of a photocopy and it was still sketchy about it.
