Skillet Granola
Ingredients
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 Tablespoons honey or brown sugar (see Notes)
¼ cup powdered milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
½ cup sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Warm oil and honey in a skillet for one minute over medium heat (300 degrees F in an electric skillet). Add powdered milk and vanilla.
- Stir in oats and sunflower seeds, and mix until coated with oil and honey mixture. Heat over medium heat. Stir until oatmeal is slightly brown.
- Take off heat. Stir in raisins.
- Cool mixture. Store in an airtight container (jar or plastic bag).
Notes
- For a less expensive and dairy-free version, omit the powdered milk. Nutritionally, there will be slightly less calcium and protein.
- Try baking in the oven. Once the first six ingredients are combined, transfer to a baking pan and bake at 325 degrees F for twenty minutes or until golden brown, stirring half way through.
- Try adding any of these ingredients: one teaspoon cinnamon, chopped nuts, dried fruit, wheat germ or coconut.
- Serve with milk, yogurt, fresh or canned fruit.
- Honey is not recommended for children under 1 year old.
