Granola

I have a really hard time with breakfast.  

I don't love cereal, I don't eat eggs, I don't like oatmeal, etc.  

I like bacon, sausage, bagels with butter, pancakes, french toast, and my favorite drink in the morning is a Coke.  

I know those are not the best choices and would not help my already round figure.  

With all that being said, I do like granola, which is a decent choice for the morning.  I have been on a quest to find the perfect granola recipe, and I have gone through two or three recipes that have been OK.  I found a recipe for no-bake granola bars, but they were a tad sweet when eaten on their own.  

So one day I decided to crumble up the bars and pour milk over them.  

Jackpot!!  

It was the exact texture I had been searching for, soft with all the tasty granola clumps.  

I changed the recipe, just a tad.

Click here is the original recipe.

• 4 cups of old fashioned oats
• 1/2 tsp of kosher salt
• 2 Tbsp chia seeds (You could use wheat germ or ground flaxseed as an alternative.)
• 3/4 cup SunButter, warmed (Again, you could use peanut butter, almond butter, whatever you like.)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1. In a large bowl combine oats, salt, chia seeds, and chocolate chips.
2. Next add honey and mix.
3. Then add warmed SunButter and mix until well combined.
4. Press into a 9x13 greased pan and stick them into the refrigerator for at least an hour.
5. When it has all come together, I move it to a smaller bowl and crumble it up.  

It is really delicious and filling breakfast.

Enjoy.
