Semi-crunchy recipes from a semi-crunchy mama.

My new fun quick cooking obsession is granola. Go figure.

Anyways, as everyone knows, aside from being tasty, oats are great for boosting milk supply. And a yummy way to eat oats is in granola!

Here are two recipes that I really like!

2tbsp butter
1/3 cup organic smooth almond butter
1/3 cup local honey
1tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups organic rolled oats
1 cup organic dried berries

Melt butter and almond butter together in a pan until mixed. Add honey, vanilla, and salt. Mix well. Add rolled oats and stir thoroughly. Add berries. Transfer mixture to baking sheet and bake at 375 for 12-20 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Store in air-tight container (or eat straight off baking sheet).

Slight variation... follow same mixing directions, for the most part.
2tbsp butter
1/3 cup organic smooth cashew butter
1/3 cup local honey
1tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups organic rolled oats
1 cup 60% cocoa chocolate chips (don't add until after mixture has baked and cooled)
