Holiday Granola – Solely Eight Edible Gift Making Days Until Christmas!

When I was asked to accept business office inwards a particular vacation YouTube playlist called, “Christmas Morning Breakfast,” I started thinking most seasonal variation on things similar eggs benedict, quiche, in addition to French toast. But thus I realized…you can’t twine those things upward in addition to hand them equally an edible gift, thus I decided to create this granola instead.

We’ve covered the edible gift theme before, in addition to discussed the fine business between, “Wow, what a creative in addition to thoughtful gift!” in addition to “Wow, what a cheapskate!” Happily, when it comes to this delicious, crunchy treat, 1 gustatory modality in addition to the lucky recipient volition forget most whatsoever ulterior economical motivations.

Since this was a Christmas-themed recipe, I went amongst lots of festively colored dried fruit, but the beauty of the granola technique is that it pretty much industrial plant amongst anything. I beloved the looks of the light-green pumpkin seeds, but things similar hazelnuts in addition to pecans would also operate wonderfully.

As I mentioned inwards the video, it’s actually upward to you lot to determine the cooking time. I tend to similar mine only golden-brown, but many bask the deeper, nuttier flavor of a longer roasting. Since you lot are pulling in addition to tossing every 10 minutes, this is pretty slowly to monitor, but only last careful towards the end, equally it tin instruct bitter if you lot become equally good far.

Anyway, whether this is for a quick in addition to slowly vacation breakfast, amongst milk or over Greek yogurt; or you lot are going to parcel around upward equally a stocking stuffer for the foodies inwards your life, I promise you lot hand this a endeavour soon. Enjoy!
