The recipe this week was chosen by Leslie from Lethally Delicious. It was a delicious pick. The recipe can be found HERE or on page 38 in Ellie's cookbook.This granola is simple to make, uses very ordinary ingredients and I can't stress this enough...SIMPLE to make. I used raisins and substituted cashews for walnuts because walnuts are a big NO in this house.
I chopped the nuts a tad finer than I probably should have. All you have to do is mix the ingredients with a 1/2 cup maple syrup and bake it for about 30 minutes. Then let it cool on the cookie sheet and ta-da....you have a very tasty granola.
Next time I make this, I was thinking about adding some mini chocolate chips after it has cooled. Yes, it would defeat the purpose of Ellie's healthy eating. But it would be quite tasty.

Add DARK Chocolate chips then you won't feel so bad. Good idea!
Oh, yeah...chocolate would be a great addition!! Not as healthy, but still quite good. I liked this one, too. Once all of the burnt fruit was picked out, it was mighty tasty!
I'll have to admire this from afar -all those nuts are a big NO in this house......
I was thinking about chocolate chips myself and wondering if they would be tasty in this. I loved this granola and glad we made it. Yours looks good. Don't forget to stop by my blog and pick up the awards I left for you! :)
I bet this would be wonderful with chocolate chips! And I love the cashews you subbed; I must try that next time. I'm glad you found this as easy as I did and that it's a keeper for you, too. Thanks for cooking with me this week!
I also thought about chocolate chips. I think some mini dark chocolate chips would be fine, dark chocolate is good for you :) I think I might separate some granola out the next time I make it and add the chips to that as a treat.
