Break

Hi everyone! I probably should have posted earlier, but I just wanted to let you all know that I most likely won't be posting anything until after March. I am terribly busy with school, as well as having a part-time job! This blog is mainly for my leisure so I hope you can all understand.

I can't wait to start up again after March! Thanks for understanding :)

Homemade Power Granola

I have been wanting to do this post for a while now, and I finally got around to it thanks to my boyfriend who asked me advice on how to change his breakfast routine. It has been a well known fact that store bought granola is not as good for you, as you would assume... It is packed with a ton of unnecessary sugar and calories. I have adapted a typical granola recipe so feel free to change it up as you'd like!

What I used:

• 2 cups of regular oats
• 1/3 cup of chia seeds
• 1 tsp of cinnamon 
• 1/3 cup of orange juice
• 1/3 cup of honey
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tsp of canola oil
• 1 cap full or tsp or vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup of dried blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Combine the oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a bowl. 
3. In a saucepan over low to medium heat, combine orange juice, honey, and brown sugar. Cook until sugar dissolves. Take off heat and add vanilla extract and oil.
4. Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients and stir until everything is coated.
5. Spread mixture as a thin layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stir, and continue to bake for another 14 minutes or until golden brown. 
6. Pour into bowl and mix in dried blueberries. Cool and store in an airtight container or jar.
