Cracked open my new cookbook "Vegan" last night and prepped for today by preparing my first recipe: Toasted Granola.
I was able to find some Blackstrap Molasses at Martin's- honestly, it looks like a container of motor oil so definitely a little scary. But, the recipe called for it, so that's what I got. I had some natural granola left from my last trip to Apple Valley, so I mixed it with the molasses, some soy milk and some EVOO, considering I couldn't find "rapeseed" oil at Martin's (something to do with it's politically incorrect name??). Baked for 15 mintues and Voila! Toasted Granola.
I ate some this morning with vanilla soy milk.. and it was pretty good! I think I'm used to the manufactured Granola that's held together with a buncha not-so-good-for-you stuff, cause I prefer it more crunchy than chewy. Or, it could just be that I need to figure out how to replicate the crunchy granola. Either way, this recipe was flavorful and filling, and that's a success to me!
