Homemade Granola

We eat granola by the truckload. The granola that comes in the blue box at Trader Joe's is our favorite. I have been wanting to make my own granola for a while. So we finally tried it. With D as my little helper we mixed rolled oats, butter, and honey together. We then scavenged the pantry for leftover nuts and mini chocolate chips and threw those in. I added some candied ginger for taste. After baking and stirring for 30 minutes we had a nice batch of granola. I would not say it is as good as the blue box variety but it still tastes pretty good.

Granola

We love granola. I buy boxes of it a time. If you are familiar with Trader Joe's then it is the blue box. My kids were able to identify this blue box from the time they were very young. Last night we tried making our own granola. We used rolled oats, honey, butter, and some leftover nuts we had. We cooked, stirred, and cooled. It tastes pretty okay. It doesn't have all the sugar that the store bought ones have so it is not as sweet. But the honey gave it a nice taste.
