Saturday, April 15, 2006 - Soaked Granola Recipe

For Old Paths Family Farm, and anyone else who has allowed an old dead guy named Weston Price to take over your kitchen:

Soaked Granola
Combine in a large bowl:
8 c. rolled oats
2 c. dry coconut
1 Tbsp. cinnamon

In a saucepan, stir together:
1 c. coconut oil (or 1/2 c. coconut oil, 1/2 c. butter)
1 c. honey
1/2 c. maple syrup
2 Tbsp. vanilla
3-4 Tbsp. whey

Warm the wet mixture (don't let it get too hot), pour over oats and stir. Let sit for 12-24 hours at room temperature, covered. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 150 degrees for 12 hours.

Notes:
I set my oven on the lowest temperature possible (170), and it seems to work just fine. I think my oven's temperature runs a little low. Of course, once it's done, you can add whatever you like to have in your granola. I like pecans and raisins in mine. It's nice to have a cold cereal again for the kids in the morning when I don't have time for a "regular" breakfast.

One more thing: it's not clumpy at all, so it is very messy if you try to eat it dry. Trust me on that one. I haven't tried making granola bars out of it yet, but that would be a better idea if you want to eat it without milk. Especially on airplanes.

Thanks so much, CircleZ! I am so looking forward to trying this recipe! I've gotta get on it quickly before it gets too hot to have the oven on much. I want to make a bunch to freeze to save for when the new baby comes!

So glad the children did well on the flight! I am sure it is due to their being so blessed to have a good Mamma! Good job, girlie!

Blessings from Old Paths Family Farm!

Posted by ThistleCoveFarminVA

Granola is great and can be made all sorts of interesting ways. In the winter, I eat mine hot with lots of fruit and nuts and in the summer, it's eaten cold with lots of fruit and nuts. It's a dish that sticks to the ribs.

God's blessings on you, yours and the work of your hands,

Sandra
