Recipe of the Month
Lightner Farmhouse Granola
This is great as a breakfast cereal or just for snacking. And it can be mixed in one bowl and baked on a regular cookie baking sheet.
Mix together the wet ingredients:
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a large bowl mix:
7 cups quick oats
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup coconut (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Set aside one cup of raisins to add after baking. You may also add nuts.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Spread onto a greased cookie sheet and bake in a 275 degree oven for about an hour, stirring after 30 minutes. The granola is baked when it is no longer wet. It will crunch up some after removing from the oven so don't overbake it. It should be lightly browned and have no moisture left when done. Stir in the raisins etc.
It can be refrigerated or even frozen to preserve the freshness.
