SLOW-COOKER GRANOLA

I found this recipe in Parents Magazine [November 2006]. I like that its "healthier," in that they use AJ concentrate and not oil. When I made it, I substituted Splenda Brown Sugar, for fewer calories.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 5h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup coconut flakes
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate (thawed)
1 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend or 2 tablespoons regular brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 ounces dried cranberries

Steps:

  • In your slow-cooker [crockpot], stir together the oats, almonds, coconut, and wheat germ.
  • In a seperate microwaveable bowl, mix honey, apple juice concentrate, br. sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Microwave for one minute.
  • Pour the liquid into the slow cooker and stir until evenly coated.
  • Cook for one hour on high, UNCOVERED.
  • Then cook four hours on low, COVERED.
  • Periodically, stir the granola. It will be a nice toasted-brown color.
  • When done, stir in the cranberries. PLEASE, DO NOT ADD THE CRANBERRIES EARLIER! if they cook in the crockpot with everything else, it will burn and became a huge mess. [I'm speaking from experience here.]
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • It should yield approximately ten 1/2C servings.
