There are an abundance of delicious tasting granola recipes in the blogging world.
I have tried many of them and have saved many of the recipes.
But, yesterday I found one that used four of the ingredients that I wanted to use...
~melted coconut oil
~100 % maple syrup
~raw honey
~vanilla
The recipe I discovered that did all that was shared by Pamela Salzman.
You can find it too, at ... pamelasalzman.com/granola
Each time I opened the oven to stir the mix, I found this, and could not wait to taste it. As with every recipe, one can adapt it to one's own personal preference.
My variation; I used chopped, roasted almonds, and some chopped walnuts for the nut part of the recipe.
I cut up some dried cranberries that my friend gave to me. She informed me that there is a big difference between craisins and dried cranberries. After tasting the ones she gave to me, I totally agree.
I chopped a few of them and added them as the dried fruit part of her recipe.
This recipe will definitely go into my file. A healthy, easy, and so delicious granola recipe.
Thank you, Pamela, for sharing it.
One idea I may use in giving it as a gift. My old canning jars come in handy in many ways.
Thanks to my friends who purchased a big box of them for me, at an old farm auction, years ago.
Or, just putting some in a clear, cellophane bag. I think anyone would like receiving a bag of homemade goodness. Add... fresh fruit, some milk and lots of hot coffee:)...instant breakfast.
Happy Thursday to each of you!

This looks delicious...what great gifts, you have packaged them so well. My daughter in South Africa uses coconut oil and tells me I should too. Is it expensive in USA? Its seems like it is here in the UK. But I expect it lasts a while.
This sounds and looks delicious, Judy. Your first photo is so attractive with the red placemat and strawberries. What a cheery way to begin the day.
Once again you excel at thinking of pretty ways to create gifts for others. I appreciate that you share these ideas and also the recipes. I have recently started using coconut oil in my cooking. I look forward to trying this granola.
It looks yummy...and so nicely presented. Winter is the perfect 'granola season'!
Going to have to give that a try, sounds great! Love seeing how you put your little gifts together :-)
Hugs!
I am sure that those who receive this will love it!
