Crockpot Monday: Granola (cereal)

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? What do you think? I do find that if I eat a proper breakfast, I feel more prepared to handle whatever the day has in store for me. Have you ever made your own granola? That's what we're going to try this week!

Ingredients:
5 cups oats
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup melted butter
1 Tablespoon flax seeds
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup dried fruit (I used raisins and cranberries)

Directions:

Put all the dry ingredients into your crock pot. Melt the butter in the microwave and add. Add the honey. Toss well.

Cover, but vent with a chopstick. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, stirring every so often.

If you can smell the granola cooking, go stir. It will burn if you don't keep an eye on it. But it won't burn as quickly this way as it does in the oven!

Let me know what you think!
