Yummy Homemade Granola

I am definitely not a baker but a few weeks ago, I found a recipe for homemade granola. I figured I could make my own healthy snack for work, and this past Sunday, I baked chocolate brownies and homemade granola!

As usual, whenever I'm in the kitchen cooking, I seem to make a HUGE mess. My sisters say that I am all over the place; running back and forth for supplies all while creating a mess and a lot of dishes to wash. :)

I packed the granola into a cute Ikea jar for work, and have been snacking when I find myself a little hungry.

For anyone interested in making their own yummy homemade granola, here's the recipe:

• 2 1/2 cups of oats
• 2/3 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of nuts*
• 1/2 cup of melted butter
• 1/3 cup of maple sugar
• 6 tablespoon of molasses OR honey (I will try honey next time!)

1  Preheat oven to 350°F.
2  Butter and line pan with parchment paper.
3  In a large bowl, mix ingredients.
4  Distribute evenly onto pan and bake for 15 minutes.
5  Turn over and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
6  Remove from oven. Allow granola to set and harden for 1 hour.
7  Munch, munch! (The granola should be good for about a week)

*For the nuts, I used sliced almonds, walnut, peanuts, sunflower seeds and cranberries... and I used 1 cup instead of the suggested half.
