Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 * 4 cups oatmeal
1/3 * 1/3 cup coconut
1/2 * 1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 * 3/4 cup brown sugar
3 * 3 tablespoons honey
1 * 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 * 1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 * 1/2 cup nuts
1/2 * 1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit
NOTE: Both Quick Oats or Old Fashioned, work well.

Steps:

Pour oatmeal into a glass microwaveable dish and cook for two minutes; stirring once. (YES microwave the oats! I'm not sure why, but this is how I learned to do it in my 7th grade Home Economics class and it has worked for me every time). Combine all other ingredients (except raisins or fruit) into a bowl. Add in oatmeal and stir until well blended. To finish, pour mixture into a glass dish and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir once every minute. Cool on parchment paper. When cool, break apart big pieces into bite size pieces. Add raisins or fruit. Store in tightly covered container.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 large crisp apples (such as Braeburn, Gala or Fuji)
2 tablespoons raisins or sweetened dried cranberries
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
4 Nature Valley™ crunchy granola bars (2 pouches from 8.9-oz box) (any flavor), crushed
Milk, cream or fruit-flavored yogurt, if desired

Steps:

Cut apples in half lengthwise. Using spoon, remove and discard cores, making at least a 1-inch indentation in each apple half. In microwavable pie plate, arrange apple halves, cut sides up. If needed, cut thin slice off bottoms to keep halves from tipping.
Fill each apple half evenly with raisins and brown sugar; dot with butter. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap, folding back one edge 1/4 inch to vent steam.
Microwave on High 5 to 6 minutes or until apples are tender. Top each with granola. Serve with milk.
