I’ll tell you who’s running a racket: The people selling
granola! I don’t know why took me so long to try making my own... maybe it was
not enough time, or maybe it was because it didn’t seem worth the effort. But
there is no effort. It was insanely easy and is insanely delicious. I have
already eaten way too much of it, actually. It’s the best granola I’ve ever
had, even better than the $10 kind!
My favorite kind is the $10 kind, which is what prompted me
to finally give DIY a shot. That, and the fact that my apartment is freezing
because we still have our window AC units in. In the northeast, summer
stretched well into fall this year; then abruptly left us with a string of
cold, rainy days. (You can tell it's cold from the light in the photo! But I don't have time to fix it.) Anyway, I was looking for a reason to turn the oven on and heat up
the place, so I found a recipe for olive oil granola online and used the
ingredient list from the bag of my favorite granola. The rest is magic.
