I finished making the granola, and it turned out pretty well. I was interested to read on that other site, that I referenced in my previous post, that the thing that makes granola clump together is the oat flour. I wonder if wheat flour serves the same purpose? Because the recipe that I used calls for wheat flour. This granola that I made does have some clumps in it. Maybe if I were to use a mixer and mix it together more thoroughly next time it would clump even more. But, whether or not it clumps, it does taste good, and it is crispy-crunchy. They were right--as it cooled it got crispy. I do recommend that simple little recipe. As for the coconut, I haven't really even tasted it in there, so I think it could be optional. I was not able to find freeze-dried apples in my food storage stuff after all, so I didn't put apples in; just raisins and almonds. I hope to acquire some dried apples sometime in the near future, and when I do, I'll use them.
This one is a keeper.
We started a wish-list of things we'd like to buy. Topping that list is a food dehydrator. The mini-orchard that we planted year before last will be producing soon, and, in addition to bottling fruit, I would love to dry apples, peaches, pears and plums. Yummmm!
