Never Buy Granola Again!

[SteeleGolem]

In a bowl, combine:
2 cups _oats_
1 cup _shredded coconut_
3/4 cup _chopped almonds_
1/8 cup _chia seeds_

In a saucepan, whisk and boil:

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 275F.

Pour the liquid over your dry ingredients and fold in.

Spread evenly on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.


Add:
1 cup of _raisins_ (controversial)

Toss and jar it up.

This is amazing!
You can also omit the oil for water & the maple syrup for dates, water & vanilla. It cuts way back on sugar and oilless!❤

I started making my own granola after your first video about it & you're absolutely right! It used to be a luxury every now & then thing because granola is so dang expensive but now it an affordable snack staple for my pantry!

I'm 26 now but when I was about 19-20 I remember stumbling on you and your brother's videos, they helped me become comfortable in the kitchen, and at the time I was taking care of my grandmother and working full-time but my favorite escape would be to splurge on groceries, get super high and watch Brother's Green videos while I experimented in the kitchen or tried out a recipe for my grandmother and I. She loved my cooking until she passed away two years ago, but I still carry all those skills, tips, and tricks you and your brother taught me years ago, and you still help me all these years later! Sorry for the random paragraph, I just hope you and your brother know how meaningful your content has been ❤ I hope your brother is doing well

If you use some ground flax and ground oats, it will make it stick together a lot more so you get big crumbles!

Liked your granola concept and decided to ramp it up by taking the liquid ingredients - I used butter and brown sugar - and melted them together but then let them get bubbly, like part way to making toffee. Included vanilla at the last minute - so it wouldn't get burned off - then mixed it in to the oats. Only had to bake for 30 minutes because of the browned butter and semi caramelized sugar gave it a head  start. It came out with crispy with a rich flavor. Thanks!

I recommend you don't forget the granola is in the oven because when it burns it burns hotter than the fires of Mount Doom.

I also use eggwhites...i believe thats what makes them more clustery and crunchy...(credit goes to misha collins cookbook)

I make mine with golden berries and pecans. Sometimes I add vanilla extract to the honey.

One way you can add volume for relatively cheap is to add puffed brown rice (like rice krispies).

[nicholasjay]

I'd recommend maldon or flaky sea salt in the dry mix. The salt pops in your mouth differently than the salt dissolved in the wet mix.

I now have to prepare this every month, my husband absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing!

[KarklinPumpkin]

The best part about this, is you can actually add dried fruit and nuts unlike the 4 or 5 peices you get in most (affordable) brands

I make granola weekly. I use pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans, oats, salt and cinnamon. Wet I use equal parts maple syrup and instead of oil, I use almond butter. yummy

[shanthisubramanian]

Great recipe. I have used this recipe for a while, except for the salt. I also added ground cardamom to get some Indian flavors in my granola. This is completely optional. 😊😊

[saritasarit]

I make mine with homemade brown sugar syrup and sunflower oil in moderation because im making granola to save money in the first place. Also started adding a bit of rice flower and packaging it quite thickly in the oven, to make a huge batch, and the rice flour makes the best clusters! Im never going back now

Made this last night. It’s the best granola I’ve ever had. And I didn’t use the coconut or seed. Went with olive oil and maple syrup; almond and raisin. Crazy good. Had good quality ingredients.

[professionaldistortion]

I made this today and it was super yummy! I added the juice of a small lemon for vibrancy - bomb!!!

[potato]

Made this tonight, it turned out amazing. Found an older video you made that had other ingredients, so I’ll be trying those next time. Breakfast tomorrow is going to be good. Thanks !

My mom has been making granola since I was born and she makes TONS of it, it can even last 5-7 months, she used to sell it and it is in a point of perfect sweetness, but people stopped buying it because they said it was flavorless 😐
