Molly Elizabeth's Granola

I like to mess around in the kitchen making up recipes and reading them out of a cookbook. This recipe I made up about a week ago because we wanted some granola, and so I made some! Here is what I came up with:

• 4 cups 6-grain (or oats if you don't buy 6-grain)
• 1 cup 9-grain (ground) (or any other grain you may have; you could also add sunflower kernals, etc. here)
• 1/2 cup flax seed (ground)
• 1 cup peanuts (chopped)
• 2/3 cup coconut
• 2/3 cup craisins
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 coconut oil
• 1 1/2 TBSP cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 cup molasses
• 1/3 cup of peanut butter

Pre-heat your oven to 350. Mix your dry ingredients and fruit in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl mix your melted butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, honey, and molasses. Pour your wet ingredients int0 the large bowl and mix until moist. Pour your mixture into a 9x13 pan and bake for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

We like to eat it in milk, yogurt, and just by itself. It is very healthy, but if you are on a diet you can see that it has a lot of calories :). Sometimes you have to sacrifice for healthy and delicious to be mixed into one, but I'm just here to tell you that this one is not a sacrifice.

Have fun in the kitchen!
