Maple Granola

I like having breakfast options on hand that last for a while and just take some (much needed) pressure off during the breakfast rush. I like this recipe because it is an easy weeknight or weekend recipe to make and the batch lasts for a while. This can be nut free and can be sent to school- just skip the pecans. 













​

3 cups         Oats (gluten free if needed. You can use quick oats but I prefer rolled oats).
1/2 cup       Coconut, dried and shredded
1/2 cup       Sunflower seeds
1/2 cup       Pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup       Pecan pieces
1 cup          Dried fruit
2 tsp           Cinnamon
1 tsp           Ginger
1/2 cup       Maple syrup
1/4 cup       Olive oil



1. Preheat oven to 250F
2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans, cinnamon and ginger. 
3. Add in oil and then maple syrup and stir to combine. 
4. Spread onto 2  cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. 
6. After baking is done add in dried fruit and let cool before storing in an airtight container.

Bread Machine Jam

I had been getting a request from my daughter about making jam during the berry picking season. It turns out the berries got eaten before I got a chance. I did decide to use some of my frozen fruit and attempt to make jam and guess what- it worked and was incredibly easy! So, don't be scared, give it a try. I choose a blend of blueberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries and strawberries. It was eaten so quickly that I put it into a mason jar and kept it in the fridge so I didn't go through the canning process. I haven't tried switching the pectin for a starch yet, but that is something I will be trying in the future.

​
21/2 cups Fruit, fresh or frozen
3/4 cup Sugar (or less depending on how sweet you want it)
1 Tbsp Pectin

1. Place fruit in a medium pot on the stove and bring to a gentle boil.
2. Sprinkle pectin on top and stir in sugar. Bring back to a boil.
3. Add to bread machine and cook for about 1.5 hours.*
4. Take out of bread machine and put into mason jars to cool.
5. Let sit for about 45 minutes before storing in the fridge.


*I use the rapid bread setting. If you have a jam setting use that.
