Granola in the Crockpot

















This recipe is from A Year of Slow Cooking.

-5 cups oats( I used regular oats for the kids)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 T flax seeds
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds( I use dhwole almonds and pecans)
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup dried fruit (I used raisins)
Directions.

Put all the dry ingredients into your crockpot.

Melt the butter on the stove top add the honey. Toss well.

Cover, but vent with a chopstick. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, stirring every so often.

This granola made the whole house smell so good.

Dump out on some parchment paper and let cool. Eat with milk like cereal, warmed with milk like oatmeal, or as is. Seal well in an air-tight container or in a ziplock. Granola freezes well.
