Hey, YouTube! I just wanted to do a quick
video with you today and share my
granola recipe with you. Now, you've seen
my yogurt making recipe and as a topping
for the yogurt, I like to make granola.
[chuckles] I make a lot of this!
It's great! it's just oats and nuts
and it's toasted with some honey and some
coconut oil and its really delicious.
I make it in big batches. You can
can sprinkle it with some toasted
coconut. Sprinkle in some Craisins or some
other some dried fruit. TO eat:stir in a little bit
of jelly, some granola and then your
yogurt.
It's breakfast every morning! So, what I'm
going to do is put together a batch.
Makes about seven pounds, I think! You can
obviously scale the recipe.
Check the show notes in the
description below and I'll have the full
recipe down there, But it's super easy to
make the ingredients are two pounds of oats.
One pound of raw cashews (Don't get
toasted cashews Don't get salted cashews.)
These I picked up at a natural food
store... at a health food store. One pound raw almonds.
Raw sunflower seeds. All these
are raw because what we're gonna do is
we're going to mix all the stuff
together and then we're gonna toast in
the oven. So make sure we all the
ingredients that you buy are raw.
Besides the nuts, what
we're going to make is, I dunno, kind of just
of a dressing, I guess is
the best term for it, Which is one half cup of
water, a cup of honey and a cup of
coconut oil. We'll mix that all together
with some cinnamon and some vanilla, and
a little bit of salt. Mix the whole thing
together and then we'll toast it real
low and slow. About 250 degrees in the
oven for about an hour or two and then we'll
just leave it to dry in the oven
overnight and that will give you a nice
a toasted oatmeal product, a nice toasted
granola. Here, take a look! Let me show you
how easy this is to make! First, we need
to weigh out the two pounds of oatmeal.
Either put the bowl on the scale and
turn it on or hit "tare" and just zero out
your scale.
These sunflower seeds come in one-pound
bags which is one of the reasons why I
make as much as i do just because it's
easy because a lot of times you can buy
these kind of seeds in one-pound bags a
lot of times I'll get the cashews in one
pound bags.
They didn't have any of the cashews
measured out in the retail bag so i just
got the bulk. Knife through these.
Just chop up a little bit You can
usually pick up the the raw "pieces" a
little bit cheaper than the
"whole" cashews because you're going to
chop them up anyway. You can
use your own judgment for how much you
want to chop these. I try to make sure
that there's just a couple of whole nuts left.
It's kind of fun to get a whole nut in your
in your oatmeal. Think "granola" the while
you're cutting these up
I mean I'll leave a couple of whole nuts
It's kind of fun to get a whole nut in
your cereal, but by and large make sure
most of them are cut in half.
Let's do a pound of almonds.
This looks like about two pounds in here.
Again, these are raw almonds. Just cut
them, basically, mostly in half.
Leave a couple of whole ones.
Can they be whole? Of course, they can be
whole!
But, you're making you're making
breakfast cereal here, folks!
On the other hand, what you have to weigh
against is this powder that gets created
this just kind of sinks to the bottom of
your bowl and isn't really great so the
more you chop the more of that powder
you get. I'm calling it! Leave that out
Right! Next, I want to mix up the sauce. I'm gonna
want a cup of coconut oil. Coconut oil
makes the cereal take on a nice toasted
color, a nice brown color when you run in
the oven. A lot of people tell me this
is a lot of oil. This is cold-pressed oil.
This is actually good-for-you-oil.
So, I like to include it in my daily diet.
I'm going to do a cup of that. I want to do a
cuppa' honey
Yeah, that's a lot of sugar, but again,
we're making...What? Seven or eight pounds
of cereal. Well, we're making five pounds
of cereal plus the waterweight of some of
these ingredients.
I guess we can weigh it when we're done and
figure it out!
Next is the water. I've got four ounces
of water- boiling water! To that, I want to
add a tablespoon of salt. That's mostly
just for flavor, a quarter cup of cinnamon,
and a quarter cup of vanilla.
Give all that a little spin until the salt
dissolves and the cinnamon is stirred in.
It's key to get the salt dissolved!
You don't want to bite into a crystal
of sat while you're enjoying your
breakfast. But having boiled the water, it
makes pretty short work of those big
crystals. I think we're good...
Boiling water will help to melt the
coconut oil as well. Yeah, good- no salt!
My coconut oil was a little cold. I think
i'm gonna stick this in the microwave
and see if I can get this oil melted.
I don't want to boil this again! Remember
I've got that vanilla extract in there.
I don't want to cook out the vanilla
extract too much, so let's try to
emulsify this a little bit and then
right into the cereal mixture. I've got a
spatula so i can keep lifting the liquid
off the bottom of the bowl and then, kind
of, "folding" in my cereal. Keep doing this
folding mixture until you don't see any
more dried bits. I'm still bringing up a
little bit of dry oatmeal from the
bottom of the bowl.
Eventually, it'll all get coated.
Once you've got that the ceral mixed up, just
spread it out on some sheet pans or
maybe in an oven pan or anything any
kind of a wide surface that you can use
to toast and sort of dry this cereal out
a little bit.
From here, you just want to spread it out.
Try to get it even across all the trays.
This last tray looks a little thin.
Let's "share"! The more trays that you use
in the thinner you spread this out the
more of its gonna toast at once.
I mean my mom used to
make this in her oven roasting pan and
she'd pile it in there about that deep and
put it in the oven
250 - 300 degrees and then just take it
out and stir it every 10 or 15 minutes,
give it a good stir. Bring up all the... get
all the corners. Get the top down to the
bottom and keep and keep moving it
around in the pan and and toasting the
top and and drying it out because you
really want... this is a cereal product... you
want to get dried out. If it has the
least bit of moisture left in it, it's going
to get mouldy in the bag and that'll be
not good So, I like to spread it out in
as many pans you have. i've actually got
three shelves in my oven so I can put
all three of these in my oven and toast
this. I'll probably check this every
15 or 20 minutes and give it a little
stir and make sure nothing's getting too
brown too fast and then we'll come back
to the video. Alright, let's toast the
cereal at 250 - 300 degrees. I'm gonna
do 250 just to go low and slow for a
while here. If you have an oven that gets
real some ovens get really hot when
they're preheating and then they'll come
down to the set temperature this oven
doesn't do that it just kind of comes up
slowly so i'm not going to get real
excited about putting my food in there
while it's preheating because it's not
getting that hot anyway but just be
careful! I don't want to hear somebody
burned their granola because they put it
in while they were preheating. That's
going to be fine. I'm gonna let that go
for about half an hour and then i'll
give it a stir.
So, after this has been in the oven for
what? about that two-and-a-half hours?
I'm going take it out give it a little stir.
just see where you are with it and feel
a little bit of weight underneath here
still feel little dampness but I've got
a nice brown... This pan was on the top
initially you can see it's a little
browner just from being close to the
element.
but i think i'm calling it done! I think
this is good enough. I don't like to get
it too brown. So, at this point, I'm just gonna
leave the door ajar. Turn the oven off
and I'll just leave that like that
overnight let that dry out and by
morning that'll be delicious i'll pack
it up in gallon ziplock bags and throw
in the freezer for safekeeping.
If you want to add the toasted coconut,
you have to toast the coconut separately.
Take the bag of coconut and spread it
out on a cookie sheet or a baking pan.
That goes in the oven at 350. Let that cook
for 5 or 10 minutes and keep your eye on it
because that coconut can can get real
dark real quick so I'm just gonna hit
the light and make sure that I keep my
eye on that because i don't want to burn
it and once that's toasted i can add
that to the rest of the cereal and
that'll be delicious!
Who's watching the clock? It's been in
there for a couple of minutes and it already
has a nice nice brown on it!
Just give us a little stir. I think
that's done! That's as toasted as I
want to get! That's perfect!
So I'll just put this back in here to
dry overnight I've got the oven off.
That's off. I'll just let that stuff dry.
So that's it!! Good homemade granola!
Super simple to make and delicious and eat it
every day for breakfast! So, subscribe and
leave me some comments and let me know what
you think of the recipe and if there's
anything else you'd like me to make.
