Why is Granola so addictive? Is there a secret to making it? Is it the crunchy, nutty aspect of Granola that makes me want more?
Yes, Yes, Yes!!
The secret to granola is two fold; one use really good ingredients, two stirring while baking every 15 minutes.
I use high quality organic rolled oats, organic nuts, Vermont Maple Syrup, unsalted butter. Bake at 340 degrees, but you must watch it and stir every 15 minutes until golden brown, remover immediately and transfer to another baking pan to cool.
It takes time and patience. That's why most people would rather buy it at the store. Notice, however, that it is more costly at the local health food store. That's because it usually has no preservatives, higher quality ingredients, and it's more labor intensive.
Like Zig Ziglar said, "It's always better to spend more than you planned, then less then you should."
