Fanny’s Superfood Granola

For the last four years, every other week, I made granola, following the famous Alice Waters’ recipe Fanny’s Superfood Granola.

At first, I followed it to the tee except excluded two ingredients that I didn’t have, groats and quinoa.

I didn’t realize it at first, but this small act made it my own.

Then, the next month, I substituted olive oil for coconut oil. I also tried agave another time.

Instead of just almonds, walnuts, and cashews, I experimented again with brazil nuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and macadamia nuts too!

Three years later, I had an idea to make it even better for my children by adding rice puffs and some of their favorite cereal flakes.

I began by following a recipe. Then I created my own.
