Popcorn Granola

Tressia brought us some cracklin oat bran that she made.  She found the recipe on the internet so I decided to look for more homemade cereal recipes and found this place called "Mr Breakfast".  There are all kinds of great cereal recipes and you can even print your own custom cereal box.  There are all kinds of other breakfast ideas too.  I watched a video of a guy who looked like Popeye teaching me how to make a perfect sunny side up egg.  He didn't say anything about adding spinach.  Here is the recipe I tried that was a big hit with everyone, even Blair.  And, of course, I made a few changes.

Popcorn Granola

6 c regular rolled oats
2 c ground flax seed
1/3 c unpopped popcorn - pop it and then chop it fine. ( I used my blender)
2 c flaked coconut

Mix these in a large bowl.  In a smaller bowl blend well:

2/3 c. oil
3/4 c. honey
3/4 c peanut butter
1 T molassas
2 T vanila

Combine everything and mix well.  Spread on two cookie sheets and bake in 300^ oven for 40 minutes, switching rack positions after 20 minutes, stirring if you want to.  Watch out, it browns fast!
Let it cool completely before storing.  Good luck letting it cool completely before serving.
