Honey Granola
Print This Post
- 3 cups dry oatmeal
- 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup each nuts and dried fruit (optional)
First melt the margarine in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey and salt. Honey is easiest to measure in a well oiled measuring cup. Otherwise, just scoop the last of it out of the cup with a clean finger or spoon. Heat the honey briefly with the margarine and then add the oatmeal. Stir it up nicely. It smells really good. Turn the mixture onto an ungreased cookie sheet, the kind with shallow sides; a large 9 by 13-inch pan works well too. Spread the granola out evenly and bake it at 375° for 10 minutes. It should be a toasty brown. Now remove it from the oven and allow it to cool and crisp up right there in the pan. Store it in a clean coffee can or sealed canister. Add the nuts and dried fruit, if you are using them, when the granola is cool. Serve it with milk like regular cereal, or if you are hankering for a divinely inspired treat, get a big bowl of plain yogurt, and sprinkle a large handful of granola on top of it. Mmmmmmmm, very tasty. Sliced bananas are good with this too.

My husband loves this! It is easy to make, and just add some store bought corn flakes, some shredded almonds and it’s just as good (ok, it tastes a lot better than) Honey Bunches of Oats.

My children love this. I have added chopped peanuts, raisins, chocolate chips and the kids think they are getting such a treat.
I added brown sugar to my most recent batch and it made it even better. I will definitely have to try what a previous poster suggested with the corn flakes. Sounds delish!
