5 Minute Granola

Posted on February 2, 2012 by admin I don’t know about you, but I’m always in a hurry in the morning. I like to incorporate a healthy breakfast into my morning routine, but at that time of day I just don’t have the energy to come up with an alternative to my usual banana with peanut butter. So I decided to create something that could be made ahead of time and easily prepared the next morning. Enter 5 Minute Granola. This yield of this recipe should last through the week. It can be easily customized, so get creative! Experiment by adding different types of dried fruit or nuts. Be sure to add fruit after cooking, or else it will become very chewy. Chocolate chips might be a tasty addition as well, but again – be sure to add it to the mixture once it has cooled off. I also like to keep it on hand for afternoon snacks. Here is the recipe:

5 minute granola

2 cups dry oatmeal 2/3 cups almonds, chopped 1 cup Rice Krispies 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 tsp. vanilla ½ cup coconut 1/3 cup raisins   Combine all ingredients except raisins. Microwave on high in large glass dish for 4 minutes. Stir twice during cooking. Add raisins. Cool completely. Stir to crumble mixture, and store in an airtight container.   What other quick breakfast fixes do you guys have?  Comment below and share some love! Enjoy!
