I&#8217;m normally an oatmeal guy, but it has been such a hot and miserable summer that the idea of starting the day with hot cereal is not appealing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been buying the Bear Naked granola at the grocery store, and it&#8217;s fine.  But tonight I decided to try my hand at making my own.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2601\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2601\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSCN2944.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSCN2944-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Granola\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSCN2944-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSCN2944.jpg 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Granola<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It turned out great!  I used a Cooks Illustrated recipe, but I used my homemade apple syrup instead of the maple syrup the recipe called for.  I added dried cherries that I picked from Jeff Rosswurm&#8217;s tree that was laden beyond belief this year.<\/p>\n<p>I cooked it on my Silpat silicone baking sheet too.  The Silpats reside at the bottom of our Tupperware &reg; drawer and I usually don&#8217;t remember to use them.  I did this time and it worked well.  The granola browned on the bottom but didn&#8217;t stick.  Clean up was just a swipe with a soapy cloth.  Splendid.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ready for breakfast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been eating granola and yogurt and fruit for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cooking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2599\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
