After all their pickiness to eat, they seam wiser to the point they ask for granola for breakfast and as a snack. The best part is they ask for “mom’s granola.” Bingo!
The truth is I have spent these last summer weeks trying to help them to discover and enjoy new flavors and textures.
My mom did that to me and now is my turn. Amen.
Today’s recipe is my latest invention: rolled oats and chopped pecans with maple syrup, spices and apricots and dried cranberries.
My Tomás Eugenio (9), who likes to joke saying he’s a cereal killer, likes his granola with milk and honey. Andrés Ignacio (11) likes it with sweet yogurt. I prefer mine it with low-fat yogurt.
Either way, it makes a delicious breakfast and the perfect snack, such as the yogurt parfait in the picture, I did it by adding layers of granola and yogurt and topping it with some maple syrup.
Super crunchy! Love it!
