Sorry - I had an elaborate post repudiating the RNC, and in the interest of not making my blog a terribly hostile place, this was the most passive aggressive way I could think of to get my message out. And the granola is actually quite good, no matter what your political leanings!
peanut butter granola
From blog: Everybody Likes Sandwiches
2 1/2 c oats
1/2 c wheat germ
1 t vanilla extract
2 T canola oil
3 T natural peanut butter
2 T brown sugar
3 T chopped chocolate (optional)
In a large bowl, mix oats and wheat germ together. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat up oil, peanut butter, vanilla and brown sugar over medium high heat and let it all get melty together. Pour hot mixture over oats and stir well, so that everything is covered. You may have to use your hands if your peanut butter mixture is extra stiff. Add chocolate, if using, and mix well. Spread mixture on a baking sheet or large glass baking pan and toast in a 325 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, checking on it and stirring it occasionally until mixture is dry. When cool, store in a tightly lidded container.
*The chocolate chips thing initially weirded me out - like how do they not get all melty and ruin the granola (since it's combined with the heated up stuff off the stove)...but it's kind of a small miracle, they stay pretty much in their shape and keep to themselves.
I like it in vanilla yogurt or in applesauce! We'll be toting it along when we go to Maine later this week too! Enjoy!
