My mother-in-law has some delicious recipes that have become part of our family tradition. One of these is homemade granola.
A few quality ingredients make for a great breakfast treat. Grape-Nuts Flakes is one of the more difficult ingredients to find, but well worth the effort!
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a big bowl.
Add the butter and honey melted together.
Stir until well mixed.
Place on two cookie sheets. I put the both in the oven at the same time and switch the shelves half way through. Stir occasionally while in the oven.

It’s also a good idea to stir the granola while it cools. It will harden into a big chunk that you’ll have to break apart if you don’t.

· 3 c. chopped nuts
Directions
Mix dry ingredients together. Melt honey and butter together. Pour over dry ingredients and stir until well mixed. Bake at 325° F for 20-30 minutes. Stir 1-2 times. (Less cook time=more chewy).
