Mocha {Or Only Coffee} Granola



Before nosotros larn into this yummy Mocha Granola, I'd similar to pose get-go things get-go together with tell ... happy novel year, everybody!  I promise that 2013 brings you lot a twelvemonth total of wellness together with happiness.

And now, tin I simply tell you lot how much of this granola I brand every week?  A triple batch.  That's almost xv cups.  15 cups!  That's a lot of granola.  Why exercise I brand hence much, you lot ask? ...
... Well, because it's the hubby's absolute favorite.  Absolute favorite breakfast.  Absolute favorite snack.  Absolute favorite dessert.  Yes, he fifty-fifty eats a large ol' bowl total equally his dessert.  When my married adult man decides he likes something, permit me simply say, he eats it a lot.

He together with I do, however, choose a divergence of sentiment when it comes to this granola.

See, I similar it {Mocha} ... alongside chocolate.  Mini chocolate chips, to travel exact.  I hateful seriously, everything's improve alongside chocolate right?  

Well, non according to the hubby.  He likes it {Just Coffee}.  No chocolate involved.  That's simply i identify where he together with I choose to manage to disagree.

So given that I brand almost xv cups of this materials every week, I'm really glad it's hence slow to make.  And I intend homemade granola is hence much improve than the store-bought stuff, particularly since you lot tin totally tweak the ingredients to travel the combination you want.

For this version,  just mix upwardly simply about old-fashioned oats alongside slivered almonds, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, together with kokosnoot ... or whatsoever add-ins you lot want.  (Remember?  That's the beauty of homemade granola!)  The sweetness of the kokosnoot is super delicious alongside the flavour of the java inwards this granola ... kinda similar putting a spoonful of saccharide inwards your java cup.

When making granola, I similar to purpose a large spatula to stir my ingredients ... I intend it industrial plant agency easier than a spoon does to mix everything together.


Then dissolve simply about dry out instant java granules inwards a fighting of hot water, together with add together a affect of vanilla extract.


Once the java granules are dissolved, combine the java mixture alongside canola crude oil together with pour it inwards alongside the oat mixture.


Next you'll add together simply about honey, stir everything all together existent well, together with hence spread the granola out on parchment-lined baking sheets.  The parchment is of import ... it'll brand your clean-up much easier.  If you lot don't choose parchment, trace of piece of employment the pans alongside aluminum foil together with spray the foil lightly alongside non-stick cooking spray.

Bake the granola upwardly for almost xxx minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.


Now, if you're making my hubby's {Just Coffee} version ... cease there.  See?  No chocolate!



If you're making my {Mocha} version ... add together inwards a footling of the most delectable nutrient at that topographic point is on footing - CHOCOLATE!  Mmmmmmm.  Chocolate chips.

And hence enjoy.  For breakfast.  For snack.  Or, inwards hubby's case, fifty-fifty for dessert.
