Despite my deep love of granola, I have never tried making any from scratch... until today that is. And, for whatever reason, I didn't expect the granola to release such an enticing aroma while cooking. The scent of cooking oats fused with coconut oil was oh-so alluring. Needless to say I was quite anxious to taste the result.
I was rather pleased with the product - a granola that tasted so completely natural and fresh - nothing like the packaged processed store-bought varieties I so frequently consume. In the end, it had a nice sweetness that wasn't too overwhelming - just what I was hoping for.
FYI: I followed a recipe from Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Cooking with a few slight alterations.
