This month’s featured ingredient at I Heart Cooking Clubs is granola. My husband’s favorite breakfast cereal or snack is granola. He is pretty specific about his granola; no chocolate, no fruit except raisins, no funny flavors. I chose Ina’s roasted hazelnut granola as it fit the rules of granola for my husband.
This was a simple recipe with plain ingredients. First, I roasted the hazelnuts to get the skin off. Then added the rest of the ingredients which included: cashews, oatmeal, slivered almonds, sweetened shredded coconut, vegetable oil and honey. Everything is tossed together and roasted for 20 minutes or so.
Our reviews: This is a tasty granola better for a snack or yogurt topping. The nut to oatmeal ratio does not really go with breakfast cereal. This cooked far less than the 20 minutes suggested on the recipe. I had trouble keeping it from burning especially the sweetened coconut. But no matter we enjoyed eating this. The recipe is available from Food Network.

It sounds good with the shredded coconut! Granola is one of my favourite too, with or without dried fruits!

I can see why this one wouldn't make a good breakfast cereal, more of a snacking granola. That said, it looks delicious! Twenty minutes does seem like a lot of time for nuts and coconut to roast…wonder if that was a typo or mistake?
