Jennys orange ginger granola
Jenny’s orange ginger granola
7 cups organic old fashioned thick cut oatmeal
2 cups raw sunflower seeds
1 cup organic olive oil
1 cup local raw honey
Mix these together
Add in:
1/2 cup each of Fresh Ground
Golden Flax Seeds
Chia seeds
Pumpkin Seeds
Add:
1 tbs cinnamon
1 tbs Fresh Ground Fennel seed
1 tsp Fresh Ground white Sesame seed
2 tbs tumeric
1 tbs Fresh Ground Cardamon pods (I grind all of the seeds in a mini electric coffee mill)
Mix seeds with a cup of white sugar and one can of frozen orange juice concentrate. I let this sit on the counter for a few hours to thaw. (A spoonful of Sugar helps that medicine go down!)
Add to the oat mix
Mix well, adding in the zest of one orange, a few drops of orange essential oil, and a freshly juiced big hunk of ginger. (I use my electric juicer to extract the liquid from the ginger root).
At some point in the mixing I hand the bowl over to Paul to do some serious hand mixing because our electric mixers have lived and died over this recipe.
Bake in a flat dish for 90 minutes at 325. Every 15 min pull it out and stir until golden.
Mix a few cups of raisins and date pieces into the granola while it is still hot to reanimate the fruit.
I use this granola in bowls with fresh berries, jam, yogurt, on salads, in trail mixes and sprinkled on hot oatmeal.
Store in an air tight container.
Enjoy!

Granola Video: A Tutorial by Jenny Hatch
Organic Old Fashioned Oatmeal Creations!
Today I did a baking marathon and made home made granola and granola bars.
Here is a little video of the finished product:
did not have the gumption to do a tutorial, but here are the recipes:
Granola
Mix 2 Cups Brown Sugar with 2 Cups Honey and 2 Cups Olive Oil
Add in 2 Cups Raw Organic Sunflower Seeds, 1 Cup Sweetened Coconut and 1 cup Fresh Ground Flax Seeds
Mix well.
Then add one tablespoon of salt to 1 Cup of White Flour
Mix into dough
Add 1 tablespoon of apple pie spice
Then start mixing in the Oatmeal. Start with 3 or 4 Cups and then gradually add in 10 full cups of Oats.
Towards the end, I just mix it with my hands.
Spread the dough on two large baking sheets and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes on 275 degree oven.
While baking the oats juice six limes and add the juice to any fruit you plan to put into the granola when it is finished baking.
I used raisins, craisins, and golden raisins.
When the granola is finished baking, place the raisins on top while still hot, this helps them to soften up and hydrate even more. The lime juice gives a spectacular flavor to the oats.
Start to pull the oatmeal off the pans while still warm and place in a covered container.
The acidity from the limes keeps it fresh for weeks, but if you don’t eat it within a few weeks, you can freeze it for later thawing and eating.
Granola Bars
This makes a whole mound of dough, so I refridgerate it and just keep baking them as we eat them.
8 sticks Butter
3 Cups White Sugar
3 Cups Brown Sugar
Cream sugar and add 6 eggs, mix well
Then fresh grind up a cup of Golden flax Seeds and add to the dough.
Mix two cups of white flour with a tablespoon of salt and a tablespoon of baking soda.
Add to the dough and mix well.
Begin adding in chips, raisins, coconut, whatever you like in your bars. I used chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut as well as raisins and craisins.
Then add in the oatmeal.
As with the granola, you can mix with a wooden spoon for a while, but after a time I toss the spoon in the sink and just go at it with my hands.
I added 12 cups of Old Fashioned Oats to the dough.
Bake on a baking sheet for 30 minutes or until golden brown at 350 degrees.
Cut while still warm or you will never get them off the pan.
Enjoy!
