I have made so much Granola in my life and I always try to make it low fat and healthy - booooooo. Well this recipe has many healthy ingredients but uses more butter then I usually try to use. I think next time I make it I will reduce the butter by 2 TBSP.
SUPER- DUPER GRANOLA
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup plus 3 TBSP honey
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup oat bran
3 TBSP roasted flax seed (bought mine at Costco) or regular
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (don't chop to small)
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup raisons
1/2 cup mix dry berries
1/4 cup chopped dried mango
Melt butter and honey together. Mix in salt to dissolve. Mix all the other ingredients together in a LARGE bowl, use your hands to mix well. Pour 1/3 of the honey mix at a time, stirring well after each pour. Mix well to coat all the dry mix, again use your hands, making sure the honey mixture isn't still hot. Spread it out on a jelly roll pan or sided cookie sheet. I don't spread mine too thin, I find the berries burn. There is nothing worse then burnt berries. If you are concerned about burning them, leave the berries out and 1/2 through cooking, add them. I baked mine at 350 F for about 14 minutes. Stir mixture about every 4 minutes. Let it cool and off you go!
Hanging out with family is my favourite thing to do. Baking with them has created wonderful memories, I'll treasure always. For my "me" time, I make sparkly, girly jewellery and recover furniture with my main squeeze. Go to my shop here!

Mini Chocolate Cakes
These couldn't be cuter. Don't mind my photo, I simply made these for the purpose of eating and really didn't expect them to be as yummy as they were. I would love to make these for a kids birthday party. You could throw a few sprinkles on top or use jam and white chocolate - voila.
As far as the recipe, I didn't change much. I baked it in a glass cake pan that was 13.5 x 10 and I used chocolate wafers for the dipping chocolate. Here is the link!
