Another Friday and another daytime fun time! These little legs are finding with all this walking around the East Village I’m getting human-size hungry! We whipped up a batch of holiday granola to make sure I fuel up before a day of exploring. This recipe makes a lot of granola! Perfect for sharing! I have made so many friends here in the EV, thought I’d drop off a few bags at my neighbours' doors as a yummy surprise!

 

Recipe:

Ingredients: 

6 cups oats 

1/2 cup nonfat dried milk

2/3 cup honey 

2/3 cup vegetable oil 

2 tablespoons water 

1  1/2 teaspoons vanilla 

     

In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Stir together honey, oil, water, and vanilla and add to dry mixture. Stir to coat well.
