Granola. I love eating and making granola. I'm not sure if it's because making and eating granola makes me think that I'm doing something healthy for a change.I got this granola recipe from Cafe Fernando, I revised it a little to suit me. The original recipe called for wheat bran, did not have that at hand so I use flax seed which turn out nice for me, no sunflower seeds either, so I use my favorite walnuts (I should have added more! they are delicious toasted and crunchy). Cafe Fernando used blueberries I used both cranberries and blueberries, for practical reason, I ran out of blueberries! It's midnight and all the stores are closed! This is the sort of fun project for those nights when you don't have a lot of time, but you feel restless and you just have to make something, this is it, and just think, come morning you'd have a delicious breakfast to start your day.
Did not really care for the molasses that was called for in this recipe because it such a pungent smell that my little brother won't such it because according to him "It smells bad!" Anyone has a suggestion what I can substitute molasses with? Aside from that I absolutely love this recipe and would definitely do this again. What I particularly like aside from the taste is that it look so gorgeous, if I do say so myself :)
Substitute honey 1-1 or do some Dulce de Leche and use that 1-1 or even 2-1. Thats what I like about cooking, doing the way that you like it.
ReplyDeleteI see that your wanting some KA flour, I'm thinking of it also, but I get very good results from pure foods hard wheat flour so now I'm in-between. If you do want to order, I might split a balikbyan (sp?)box with you if your interested.
