Рецепт Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day: Honey Pecan Granola
by Nicole Sherman

This month Colie’s Kitchen is lucky enough to be hanging out

and taking over Lauren’s Kitchen at Healthy-Delicious.

After spending HOURS looking over Laurens recipes I narrowed down my recipe

choices to 18! Yes 18! When I say hours… wow time passed.

Looking at Laurens recipes and the beautiful pictures that

go along with her recipes was like looking on Pinterest for me. I was

bookmarking EVERYTHING! I have to reiterate hours because I was supposed to be

making dinner but instead I was dreaming of all this yummy food I want to make

then eat.

I have been trying very hard to make myself eat breakfast

every morning. I hate breakfast! I can’t tell you just how much I hate

breakfast! I don’t like eggs and it seems everything has to have eggs in it. I am

also not a huge fan of healthy cereal, but I love granola! Have you seen the

prices of granola lately? Wow! The stores love their granola as much as I do.

After stumbling upon Laurens Honey

Pecan Granola recipe I knew what I was making for reveal day! I have been

having plain yogurt with fruit and granola for breakfast almost every morning. That’s

a breakfast I can live with. The problem is, as I told you before, granola is

expensive and well … I am cheap lol!

So with that being said why not make my own? It’s better for

you because you can control what goes in it, and it cost a lot less. Actually it

cost a fraction of what the grocery stores charge and it’s fresh! You don’t

have to worry if it’s going to be rancid (been there before) or how long it has

left for a shelf life.

What’s great about Lauren’s recipe is all of the ingredients

are things that I keep in my pantry. I didn’t have to go out and buy one thing.

I did make one change which was instead of raisins I used craisins because we

have a raisin hater in our house! Plus I always have craisins on hand.

I loved LOVE this recipe! It’s awesome!! Not only is it super-fast,

but its super easy. I made it while dinner was cooking and it was done well

before dinner. I doubled the recipe so that everyone in the house could have

some and so that there would be plenty for breakfast all week long. I also have

to tell you that the cooler it granola becomes the more intense the honey

flavor is. Oh my it’s so good!

I made this the day after reveal day last month and have

made it three other times since. Once was even next door at my neighbor’s

house. She loved it too!

So I will brag and tell you that I hit the recipe jackpot

and also tell you that I won’t be buying granola again. Think of the

possibilities if you make it yourself. Any type of nut, any dried fruit, I think

it would be awesome with coconut flakes, and even a little vanilla flavoring! Delicious,

healthy, chemical free, and low in price!

Thank you Lauren for allowing Colie’s Kitchen to hang out in

your kitchen this month.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Melt butter and honey in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat

and stir in the remaining ingredients until thoroughly moistened.

Spread the mixture

in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, stirring

halfway, or until the oats are a light gold color.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for a minute or two then

pour into a large bowl. Begin folding your granola slowly with a large spoon. The oats will still be

a little bit sticky while it's warm, but the more you mix and the more it

cools down your granola will begin to form nice granola chunks!

Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
