I wanted to make earl grey granola for so long, her it is!
We had a busy weekend with Tomasz as we’ve decided to take advantage of relaxed Mia and to cook and take pictures. It was fun, believe me. We did everything in a speed time, as in any minute Mia could have waken up. I had no idea that I can be so organised and fast. And guess what we’ve been talking about while doing things – of course Mia.
I remember hearing from my mothers-friends that they watch pictures of their children when they’re asleep. I used to think that it’s a crazy thing to do and always wanted to say “Why? Just relax and enjoy”. Well, Mia is sleeping right now and I just watched a video of her smiling to me. I’m officially a crazy mama. Don’t judge me please. You haven’t seen this girl. She has beautiful eyes and when she smiles it gets so tiny that you can hardly see it – the sweetest view. But there’s also a second side of this coin called life. Whenever someone is trying to wake my baby up I stop to be polite and I say “NO! DON’T!”.
I wanted to make earl grey granola since I saw it on Baking Magique blog. I made few changes and it’s awesome! We made it on Saturday so obviously it’s gone by now. But I still remember the flavour. It was a-w-e-s-o-m-e_! The cool thing about homemade granola is that you can put inside whatever you like.
You will need:
- 2 ½ cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cardamon
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes
- ½ cup rice syrup
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup goji berries
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 tsp earl grey tea
- zest and juice from ½ lemon
Heat an oven to 175*C. Brew 3 teaspoons of tea (in a bag on a brewing spoon) in 2/3 cup of boiled water. In a bowl place oats, sunflower seeds, chopped pecans, chia seeds, cinnamon, cardamon, coconut flakes, dried cranberries, goji berries and mix. Then add brewed tea, zest and juice from ½ lemon, rice syrup, coconut oil and mix well. Place the mix on a paper and bake for about 30 – 40 minutes. Mix it each 10 minutes and watch it after 30 minutes so it won’t burn.
Enjoy, Marta

hmh, this is strange indeed. Did you use rolled oats? Not oat flakes?

Whoaaaa that picture of Tomasz tossing the granola in mid-air is so cool! It’s like, popping out of the screen. 😀 And welcome to the crazy mom society, lol! It’s amazing how one can love so much and so unconditionally, isn’t it? And I think that’s the best thing about motherhood.

Just made it myself and I basically can’t stop eating granola! For 3 days in a row did I now have Greek Yoghurt, rasberries and selfmade granola and I already can’t wait for tomorrows portion.http://www.globalspicedblog.tumblr...

Love love love this! the ingredients are very similar to what I usually put in my own granola mix, but never in my life I would have thought about adding tea!! Earl Grey is one of the most delicious things on this planet. I got this pinned and can’t wait to try it!
And it is so lovely to read about your daughter 🙂 All your reactions are perfectly normal and mom-like, I think! Ahah!

Homemade granola is always gonna be one of my favorite things to make (and eat). I’m so looking forward to make this earl grey (!!) flavored dream of a breakfast. And I just love how fun you’ve had while shooting this post – you can totally feel it.

No oil in this recipe, I love it! Does it come crunchy anyway?
Btw, the second photo is just amazing!

Thank you ! For both – nice complement and letting me know that I forgot to add coconut oil as an ingredient. Ups. It’s fixed. There is oil and it is crunchy 🙂

uwielbiam earl grey, chodził za mną pomysl na dodanie go do lemon pound cake, ale jakoś nigdy się nie zabrałam. z granolą może mi być bardziej po drodze, szczególnie, że niedługo zaczyna się kolejny semestr zajęć i czas rano będzie ograniczony. pewnie spróbuję!super zdjęcia, chociaż mój zmęczony sesją mózg chwilę główkował nad tym, cóż tam pięknie kwitnie na tej blasze. Ach tak, to granola w locie! ;)pozdrawiam całą rodzinę!

Hello! I’ve done this recipe twice and (although it’s SO lovely) adding 2/3 cup water makes the oats soggy so that when I bake it they come out kinda bread-like. Am I doing something wrong?
