Well, yesterday Briella asked me why I never buy granola any more and I said it was because they don't have it here. She felt immense sympathy for the people of our new town who have never even heard of or experienced granola. We decided to make some. I found the easiest recipe I could find and gave it a shot. It turned out delicious, if only I hadn't burned it. Oh well, I still like it. Here is the recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/baked-honey-granola-176753
I'll re post it here with my changes
Granola
2 cups oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
about 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
(mix all those)
Microwave:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
Mix the wet and dry stuff. Spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 for about 15-25 min, stirring once.
So the mistake I made was that I thought it would get crunchy while baking so every time I checked it and it still seemed moist I just kept baking it. It ended up getting slightly burnt. I guess when you take it out to cool it will finish hardening up for that crunchy taste? I don't know, like I said this is my first time making it. But I will use this recipe again because even burnt it was delicious. I ate it like a bowl of cereal for breakfast this morning with milk on top. Mmmmm!
Granola Bars
And for Granola bars I just use the recipe on the Heavenly Homemakers website found here: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/homemade-chewy-granola-bars-without-corn-syrup
We love these so much we don't buy the chewy sunbelt granola bars any more. For the 1 cup of "other stuff" I like to use rice crispies, crunched up pretzels, sunflower seeds, and chocolate chips.

wow it sounds so good. I wish I felt like making some right now. ;)
or I wish I had a winco or a Josie near by...
Briella has such a sweet, tender heart! Maybe you could make some of these for her birthday party next week. :-)
