What could be better than crunchy sweet and healthy homemade granola? <br /> <br />Homemade granola that you don’t have to watch every minute to make sure that it doesn’t burn. Granola that stirs like a dream instead of spilling off of the cookie sheet while you’re trying not to burn your arms on the oven rack. That’s what, yea!! This 'slow cooker' granola doesn't just taste wonderful, it fill the whole house with that sweet, spicy cold weather smell we all rely on to get us through the winter months. The molasses caramelizing in the crock pot for hours just takes your breath away. So much so that in hour 3, I had to scoop out a small bowl full from the crock and have a taste test. YUP, it was as good as the aroma said it would be. The spicy nuts have just a hint of heat from the cayenne and round out the fruity, nutty flavors for the perfect morning..anytime healthy snack. I've been warming a little vanilla almond milk to pour over a scoop full mostly. It stands on it's own just a pinch at a time by itself though too. The cooking process reduces the burning habits common with oven baked granolas and you wont worry about spilling bits and pieces off of the cookie sheet reaching over the oven to stir the crumbles as the cook. I stirred mine in the slow cooker with a chop stick in fact. That easy! So many ingredient options as well to make this one your own family creation. To top it off, it is chock full of 'good for you' stuff like iron, B6, folic acid and potassium. What more could you ask for in a delicious snack anyway?
