Oda's Granola
breakfast, granola, Healthy, Lassens natural foods market, Oda Lassen
As promised a week ago, here is a great granola recipe. I got this recipe from Oda Lassen herself, although I have modified it a bit--her tastes were for things a bit sweeter than mine! 1 1/2 cubes butter (6 oz) (Horizon Organic Butter is on sale this month!) 2 cups of honey (I like to use the local honey, especially the Orange--Yum!) 1 1/2 TBSP cinnamon 1 1/2 TBSP cardamom (This is a spice that is used a lot in Scandinavian cooking.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cubes butter (6 oz) (Horizon Organic Butter is on sale this month!)
2 cups of honey (I like to use the local honey, especially the Orange--Yum!)
1 1/2 TBSP cinnamon
1 1/2 TBSP cardamom (This is a spice that is used a lot in Scandinavian cooking. I LOVE it! I sometimes "accidentally" spill more than the recipe calls for!)
4 cups of chopped nuts and seeds (6 or more kinds--I like almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistacios, etc. You can also add coconut or other dried fruits, but I would add them after baking so they don't get dried out.)
8 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups of honey (I like to use the local honey, especially the Orange--Yum!)
1 1/2 TBSP cinnamon
1 1/2 TBSP cardamom (This is a spice that is used a lot in Scandinavian cooking. I LOVE it! I sometimes "accidentally" spill more than the recipe calls for!)
4 cups of chopped nuts and seeds (6 or more kinds--I like almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistacios, etc. You can also add coconut or other dried fruits, but I would add them after baking so they don't get dried out.)
8 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Melt the butter and honey together in a large pan, then remove from heat
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
Melt the butter and honey together in a large pan, then remove from heat
Add cardamom and cinnamon, mix well
Add the chopped nuts and seeds, mix well
Add the rolled oats, and mix until everything is thoroughly coated.
Spray an 11 X 17 baking dish with Spectrum High Heat Canola Spray Oil
Spread the mixture into the pan, but don't smooth it out
Bake at 325 degrees for 18 minutes
With a large spatula, thoroughly stir, turning the granola over
Bake an additional 18 minutes, until slightly toasty brown
Remove from the oven and stir once more
Cool and then keep in an airtight container. I usually keep my granola in the refrigerator, since this is a large batch. (You can easily half this recipe, if it's too big for your needs!)
I have given this granola for gifts--it's nice to make it and then give it in a festive container with the recipe as well.
This granola, along with yogurt and fresh fruit makes a wonderful, quick breakfast.
Enjoy a wonderful breakfast with Oda's Granola!
