Granola's a popular treat with children, and this one couldn't be easier to prepare. I flavor it with lots of tasty good-for-you ingredients. It's perfect to send in bag lunches or to serve after school. I've also used it as an in-the-car treat when we take family vacations. Ingredients:
2-2/3 cups flaked coconut |
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup raisins or chopped pitted dried plums |
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or m&m's® brand chocolate candies |
Directions:
1. In a large metal bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small saucepan, bring the oil and honey just to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat; pour over coconut mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
2. Spread in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes, stirring several times. Pour onto waxed paper to cool. Sprinkle with chocolate chips or M&M's. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 7 cups.
