Recipe of Granola - Food Recipes

GRANOLA Mix together in a big bowl: 2 cups rolled oats 1 cup rolled barley flakes 1 cup rolled wheat flakes 1 cup rolled rye flakes Add: 1/2 can to 1 full can thawed frozen apple juice concentrate I thaw out the can, then pour it undiluted directly over the grains to moisten. The purpose of this is to add a little sweetness. I avoid sugar and honey like the plague, so that's why I use apple juice concentrate. I use a whole can (I think it's the 12-ounce size). (Optional) Mix together in a measuring cup: 1/4 cup ground psyllium powder 1 TBSP cinnamon Sprinkle this over the moistened grains, and mix well. Spread out on cookie sheets and bake in a 350 oven. I haven't got the exact times worked out, so here's how I do it. After about 20 minutes, I take both cookie sheets out and stir everything up. The idea is to dry out the moisture and lightly toast the grain without burning it. I keep checking it and stirring it about every 15 minutes or so until it seems to be completely dry and about the right color. I usually turn down the heat to 300 degrees after about 45 minutes so things will continue to dry out without getting too dark. When it seems to be done, I take the cookie sheets out and set them on the counter and leave them to cool off completely. When completely cool, I dump the mix back into a big bowl and add about a cup or so of raisins. I mix well, then put it in a big jar. I make this about once a week. The important thing is to make sure that it's completely dry. If not, it will mildew just like a loaf of bread.
