Yeah for making affordable healthy food!
So here's a little secret. I don't do cereal. It's my food crack. My kids act like wild banchies when they eat it, much goes to waste and if you think about it. If thats all we're having for breakfast (not only are we missing a large amount of nutrician but) that's about $3 a box. So $6 + milk at $3 a gallon. That adds up a little too fast for me.
That being said, I am ok with and really like granolla (just not as a regualar breakfast). Maybe as a cereal, maybe as a snack, top some yougurt or bake it into muffins. It's good stuff. You know what it is? Baked oat's. That's it! So why is it ssssoooooooooooo expensive?
We do however go through a good deal of oatmeal, so much so that we buy it in bulk. My only problem this round was that I didn't get the whole oats. That's a problem and wont make as good granolla but it's a start.
I'm not that great at photo pics so sorry about that. Anyhow it's this simple. Pour 2 cups of oats on a baking sheet, mix with a little vanilla then drizzle a little honey and olive or coconut oil, and a pinch of ground sea salt over the top. Bake at 300 for 10 minutes, a little longer if your using a small pan like mine. It all depends on the thickness and how crunchy you like your oatmeal.
You can also mix in nuts, seads, dried fruit in with the vanilla if you like. I don't have any right now so plain and simple is how we roll.
Store in an air tight container for a week or two.
I would break down the cost but I can't this time.
Oatmeal I bought in bulk several months ago and 2 cups out of 25 pounds isn't much.
The honey and the olive oil was a gift from our neighbor who was moving.
So this is really bits and scraps of what we already have. No spending necessary.
