Every time I make granola I remember why I shouldn’t make granola. We have no self-control when it comes to it. This is my favorite version yet… and I can attest to that because right after I made it, Jack and I stood at the kitchen counter and ate it all. Bit by “just a little bit more,” this (our photography subject) disappeared.
The good news: It’s quick and easy, so 15 minutes later, we were ready to roll with a second batch. The trick – make it on the stovetop. I know, it sounds wrong, but it’s so so right. Everything toasts low and slow (and evenly!) because you’re watching and stirring as you go… adding ingredients in the order of the time they require to cook. Oats first, nuts, then coconut flakes. When you’re all done, stir in the goji berries. The bad news: we finished off the second batch nearly as quickly as the first. But hey, it’s the holidays… and it’s just granola… let’s live a little.
