Granola Balls

Another way overdue posting. It seemed like I have neglected this place again. Well, let me tell you something about these balls. They were made with lots of estimation. Thankfully, these are flexible morsels. Just follow me through this and you will be able to start enjoying the yummy goodness soon enough.

Start off with equal parts of...
Rolled Oats
Unsweetened Coconut Shavings
Choice of Nuts (or Not)

Choice of Dried Fruit

Canola Oil (or any neutral tasting oil)
Honey (your choice of flavor),up to desired sweetness... you may want to add a tad bit more to make it stick more when forming balls
*Use just enough oil to coat items and won't stick together (don't go oil crazy)

-Preheat oven to 375 deg F
-In a sheet pan,line with wax paper or parchment paper.
Toast together Rolled Oats, Unsweetened Coconut Shavings, and nuts...Oil and Honey
-Stir every 5-10 min. for even browning.
-Once toasted, transfer to a mixing bowl and add in the dried fruits

*to make balls, shape the granola while still hot. Cool completely before transfering to an airtight container.

Enjoy it as a snack or a great breakfast cereal with milk or any other beverage of choice. Feel free to tweak it and make your own concoction. In case you don't have an oven, you can do this stove top using a saute pan for toasting. Tell me how yours turn out.
