Whole Grain Granola

Whole Grain Granola

If you are in need of a delicious granola recipe, then this is the recipe for you!  A loyal Shiloh Farms customer graciously shared her recipe with me, and now this is my go-to recipe for granola.  Quick and easy to make, the recipe works well with any one or combination of the Shiloh Farms Flakes. Be sure to use a total of 4 cups of your favorite flakes to make this recipe.  I like to use to use a hearty blend of Barley, Kamut, Spelt and Rolled Oats for my granola.

I love the way they look all blended together!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup Shiloh Farms Barley Flakes
1 cup Shiloh Farms Kamut Flakes
1 cup Shiloh Farms Spelt Flakes
1 cup Shiloh Farms Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

1/3 cup Shiloh Farms Raw Alfalfa Honey
1/3 cup Oil of choice
1 tsp Vanilla

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Pour wet ingredients over the flakes and mix well until flakes well-coated.
3. In a 9 x13 baking dish, bake the granola for 20 - 25 minutes golden brown. Bake for 10 minutes, then stir; bake for 10 more minutes to stir again for even baking. Remove from oven when the flakes have become a golden brown.
4. When cooling in baking dish, continue to stir occasionally for even toasting.
5. Store in an airtight container in a cool pantry for freshness.
   
   
   
   

Beth's Notes:

My favorite way to eat granola is as a cold cereal just using regular milk. I add a sprinkling of maple sugar, coarse wheat bran, and a new addition from our PureLiving brand, the Sprouted Brown Flax Powder.  In the summer, I like to add fresh blueberries, but have been known to rehydrate the dried blueberries as well. Actually, anything you add to this granola would only make it better!

• When it comes to which cereals to use, feel free to mix it up depending on what you have on hand. This would be equally good with wheat flakes, triticale flakes, or even sprouted rolled oats. 
• Try making an Apple Cinnamon version by adding a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg and dicing up the apple rings. Any of the Shiloh Farms Dried Fruits would be a great addition!
• Halfway through the baking, add sliced almonds or pecan pieces for a bit of nuttiness.
• Granola can be eaten over your choice of milk, yogurt, or even ice cream!

Enjoy!
