Last week, I tried making some granola. In true Rachael fashion, the first batch was a learning experience. Cooking is amazing when you end up with something you can be proud of. Something that tastes great, looks great, smells great, but when it doesn't taste great, look great, etc...I feel so deflated. Especially when you've spent lots of time and money trying something new. So, when I burned my first batch of granola, I was so disappointed. There were lots of nuts and expensive ingredients in it. Too many. My husband (who ate it even though it was a little too golden) said his jaw hurt a little after having a little bowl.
So this time, I tried a new recipe. Something a little more simple that I found on Pinterest. It was originally from Lovely Little Kitchen and I modified it just a little. I didn't have coconut oil or almond extract, so I used olive oil and cinnamon and also doubled the vanilla and added a half cup of raisins. This tastes so good! I really think that it would be crazy to buy granola ever again. It's so expensive at the store and this stuff is so easy to make! It's fast and delicious. Granola is one of those things you really can customize to how you like it. You can add or remove whatever ingredients you want. If you like granola, you should give this recipe a try!
