Yummy granola. I learned this recipe while working at a Bed and Breakfast in DC. This recipe calls for 8 ounces of almonds but we recommend using any nuts you desire -- they are all delicious. Ingredients:
2 bananas, peeled and diced |
1 1/4 cups dates, pitted and chopped |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup hot water |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
8 cups quick cooking oats |
8 ounces dried mixed fruit |
8 ounces blanched slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). 2. Puree the bananas and dates in a food processor. Add the brown sugar, hot water, vanilla and cinnamon; mix well. 3. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl, add oatmeal and mix well. 4. Spread onto large baking sheets and bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 1 to 1 1/2 hours stirring frequently. Cook longer for crunchier if desired. Once cooled add the dried fruits and nuts, as little or as much as you want, and mix. |
