Ingredients:
4 c oats (do not use instant)
1/2 c olive oil (I would not use a extra virgin olive oil, use something lighter)
2/3 c honey (depending on how sweet you like it and what kind of honey you're using)
1/4 c flaxseeds
1/2 c total of mix-ins (whatever you like, nuts, dried fruit, coconut, chocolate, etc)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients until well coated. Line the bottom of a 9x13-in glass pan with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking spray. Add mixture and firmly press into pan. (a little oil rubbed on your hands or some plastic gloves will help with the pressing into the pan.) Bake for25-30 minutes, until the top just become golden brown. Remove and press the top with a spatula to compress the bars even more. Let cool thoroughly before cutting into bars. To remove from pan pull foil up and peel away from the bars. Yields: 24-32 barsFor granola, Spread mixture on to a greased sheet pan and bake for 25-30 minutes stirring 1/2 way through. Let cool and crumble to desired consistency.
17.6 oz container of )% Fage Greek Yogurt
8 strawberries, stems removed/quartered
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp granola
2 tbsp mint
Divide yogurt between four 8-10 oz ramekins. Add two quartered strawberries to each dish. Drizzle each with 1 tbsp of honey. Sprinkle with 1/2 tbsp of mint and top with 1 tbsp of granola and serve immediately. Yields : 4 servings
I make up a few of these minus the granola and save in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast or snack at work I have great Pampered Chef prep bowls with snug lids or I use my Fit & Fresh 1/2 cup containers. Add granola when you're ready to eat.
If you have a lot of people you can serve family style, doubling or tripling the recipe, pie plate or other large shallow dish. I have great shallow sided, flat bottom pasta bowl that work really well. It's a great quick, cheap surprise for a work pot luck or a party. Simple, health, inexpensive and packed full of flavor.
ENJOY!
