GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE GRANOLA



Grandma's Homemade Granola image

My grandmother and I created this homemade granola recipe one day, and it is currently loved and requested by the rest of my family, including my other grandma who used to be anti-granola! My favorite ways to serve it are in coconut Greek yogurt or just in a bowl with milk. Simple and awesome.

GRANDMA MYRNA'S HONEY-WALNUT BRITTLE



Grandma Myrna's Honey-Walnut Brittle image

After several failed attempts at making homemade brittle, I finally got some sense and called my Grandma Myrna! She gave me this recipe for brittle made in the microwave, and I had instant success! The best tips she gave were to 'work quickly, have everything pre-measured out, and for goodness' sake, don't burn yourself!'

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for baking sheet
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sugar
½ cup honey
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
