Cranberry & Raisin Granola

Oats (Lots of oats), dried cranberries, raisins, walnuts, pecans, and coconut. Toss in oil & honey, spread along two baking sheets and bake. Easy and crazy delicious.

The setting: Saturday evening, at 9 pm.

The craving: granola for my Sunday morning cereal. It wasn’t too late so I went for it. 

I found a generic granola recipe and sized up my pantry. I’m missing at least 3 ingredients. Do I care? Not really.

While this was baking the smell reached the living room and I was content that I had no other prospects for the evening.

Nothing to do usually translates to me in the kitchen. Eating granola straight off the baking sheet was not my most brilliant idea. I’d still do it again. 

Granola with milk poured over it or in yogurt is even better!
