Simply Homemade

Peanut Butter Granola

Someone had asked for this recipe awhile ago, and I'm SO sorry that I didn't post it sooner!  Life is rathar busy around here, but oh so good!!!  This recipe is SO easy to make, and so tasty... it seems that as soon as I make it... it's gone!!  We got this recipe a couple of years ago from a dear, dear friend... and it is SO yummy!!!!!!  Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Granola

5 c. oatmeal (not quick)

5 c. rolled six grain (if you don't have this, just use more oats)

2 c. coconut flakes

1 1/2 c. rapadura (or brown sugar)

1 t. salt

3/4 c. peanut butter

1 c. coconut oil (or other oil)

1/2 c. honey

2 t. vanilla

Directions:

* mix all dry ingredients together except the salt (I find it mixes better if you add it to the wet ingredients)

* combine all the other ingredients... be careful not to heat it too hot, as you don't want to damage the oil

* stir heated mixture into dry ingredients

* place on dehydrator trays

Cooking Instructions:

* dehydrate until crispy, usually 18-24 hours

* Cool and store in glass jars.

* I don't have the directions any more for cooking in the oven, but I think you just cook it at 350 degrees until crispy (about 1/2 hour ?), and you need to turn it every so often.

Do any of you have any delicious granola recipes... we need some more!!!!  If you do, please send them my way!!

Sounds good. :) I love baking, and this is a great way to get some new recipes.

I was over at your other blog, and was reading some of your entries, then I saw the link for this blog, and thought I would come and see what it was about.

We try to eat healthy too, but sometimes it's a lot cheaper just to buy that not-so-healthy for you food. :( Sadly. We use $150 a week for 10 people. We hardly ever eat out, and when we do, we go somewhere that won't cost us a whole lot more.

Well, I will try to stop over here a again. The recipes look great. I will be using them, and I hope you don't mind if I add you to my friends? I will add your other blog too.

Love,
Rachel
