Homemade Granola from Chez Larsson

[trystinn]

Calling all cooks! I'm happy to make this just without oats, as I'm allergic, but thought I'd ask around on my Flist to see if more experiences folks had any ideas on what I can use as a substitute.

* 5 dl / 2 cups Rolled oats
* 5 dl / 2 cups Rye flakes (look like rolled oats but from rye)
* 2 dl / 1 cup Almonds or walnuts
* 1 dl / 1/2 cup Linseed
* 2 dl / 1 cup Sunflower seeds
* 1 dl / 1/2 cup Shredded coconut
* 1 1/2 dl / 2/3 cup Brown sugar
* 2 dl / 1 cup Water
* 5 tablespoons Canola oil
* 2 dl / 1 cup Raisins / Dried apricots/ Goji berries


Chop the almonds or walnuts and place in a large bowl.
Add the dry ingredients except for the raisins/apricots/goji berries. Mix together.
Heat oven to 200 C / 390 F.

Mix water with oil and sprinkle it over the dry ingredients.
Make sure all the ingredients are damp by mixing with your hands.
Spread the damp granola onto a large greased baking sheet.
Put it in the oven for 20-30 minutes checking and stirring at least three times so the granola gets evenly roasted. Be sure to check more often towards the end so it doesn't burn!
Once it's done, take it out, let cool, add the raisins or whatever you prefer and then store in an air tight jar.

Bob's Red Mill makes rolled oat flakes.

Which I'm still gonna be allergic to, so confuddled here?

I'm a moron. I meant rolled WHEAT flakes. I checked, they make 'em.

Thank you, sweetie, I was starting to think "wha-ha? Do I need more coffee?"

Wheat flakes sound interesting. :)

They also make rolled Barley.

It's been a fuck of a day.

Oh, I'm so sorry! :( Had a few days like that recently, myself. The first week of cruise is always so depressing.

It's just been incredibly busy! It's winding down, though, finally.
