I think I have a baking problem. Seriously, it’s way too
fun and such productive procrastination:).
My latest creation is a cinnamon bun explosion! The buns
were so bursting with deliciousness that they literally exploded out of the
pan. Pretty crazy.
I’ve also been experimenting a lot with making my own
granola. Cereal is just too expensive. It’s also healthier to make your
own. You then control how much sugar goes into it. It’s surprisingly easy to
make your own granola. Just mix whatever you want... oats, sunflower seeds,
flax seeds, coconut, dried nuts… then add some oil, vanilla, brown sugar or
maple syrup... bake for 45 minutes (mix every once in awhile) at 300°F. Voila,
granola! You can mix in any dried fruit at the end (don’t add before baking,
it will burn, not that I know by experience…).

My favourite creation so far has been gingerbread granola. Just add gingerbread spices (ginger, cloves, nutmeg), cut up fresh ginger and use
molasses and brown sugar as the sweetener. Really good combo, especially during
the colder months.
Now I’m just trying to figure how to get it to create big
clumps like in the cereal boxes, any tips?
