This is another thing my mom made for me when she was here after Anna was born. I eat it almost every morning with a cup of Chobani yogurt. It's filling, low fat and easy to make! My mom got this recipe from one of her college friends.
Recipe
3 C oatmeal
1 C sweetened flake coconut
1 C chopped pecans
1 C fat free sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 C dried fruit (cherries, blueberries, cranberries, etc.)
Combine oatmeal, coconut, pecans and salt. Add sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Place in greased 9x13 pan and bake for 20 minutes at 325 degrees. After 20 minutes are up, stir and bake for another 10 minutes. Stir again. Continue the bake/stir pattern in 5 minute increments until mixture is equally browned. Let it cool, then add dried fruit. Store in airtight container or ziplock bag.
Comments
- Do not use quick oats
- Usually I do two rounds of the 5 minute bake/stir pattern. If you go too long the granola will be too crumbly. Oatmeal pieces should stick together in little clumps.
- I prefer 1/2 C cherries and 1/2 C blueberries for my fruit. I've also tried plain Craisins as well as blueberry juice infused Craisins - not worth repeating.
