Cereal Boycott

I have declared a cereal boycott at our house.  Hopefully, there won't be any uprisings in the Kingdom :-) 

The King and Miss A love granola mixed with yogurt (they call it a "daddy snack") and eat it every. single. day...Therefore, we go through a box (or more) of granola a week!!  The granola of choice is almost $4 a box and the box is shrinking!!


The solution:  A super easy granola recipe that even I can't mess up!!

Lazy Granola
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. vanilla
7 cups oats (old fashioned, not quick cooking)

1.  Mix Brown Sugar, oil and honey in a small saucepan.  Bring to a low boil.
2.  Remove from heat.  Stir in cinnamon and vanilla.
3.  Pour over oats in a large bowl.  Stir until well coated.
4.  Spread oats in a 9 x 13 pan (I used two large pans to have a thin layer on each).  Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
5.  Take out and stir.
6.  Return pan to oven.  Turn oven off.
7.  Go to bed :-)  Wake up to a delicious, cinnamon-y sent wafting through your kitchen!

So yummy and much more budget friendly!!



I keep it in a cereal tupperware and so far, it has stayed really fresh.  The best part - I don't have to pick out the things that Miss A "not like".   

Enjoy!
