With the wee babe in my womb, I’m eating every 2 hours. It needs to be packed with nutrition for every calorie since I pack on excess weight easily. I had a hankering for granola and yogurt, but I didn’t need all that sugar and fat and I didn’t have 2 hours to wait to make it. So I tried a single serving in a skillet and it worked great!
I put in a seasoned cast iron skillet (yay for more iron!);
1/4 cup thick rolled oats
1 Tablespoon wheat germ
1 dash salt
1 dash cinnamon
7 almonds, coarsly chopped
1 teaspoon each of brown sugar and butter
I cooked and stirred it on medium heat until everything was smelling toasted and slightly golden. Then I stirred in 1 Tablespoon of craisins.
Then I mixed 1/2 cup Mountain High plain yogurt with 3 drops of vanilla stevia.
And topped it with the granola.
It was delicious. (About 350 calories and full of whole grains, healthy fats, protein, calcium, and yummy goodness.)
Thx so much! My attempts at making homemade granola haven’t been too successful, but this came out great for my “Sunday morning – it needs to be quick” breakfast. I love how it was warm…Thx so much!
