The More Unique Combination For Your Yogurt in the Mornings (Also Makes Granola)

So I was getting ready for school very early the other morning, but the only problem was that I could not find anything that I wanted to eat at 6 A.M. I did not remotely want to eat cereal, for I had eaten cereal for the past week. I mean, come on, who wants to eat the same thing every single day for breakfast. I get it, yea you will eat a new cereal for a couple of days, then you might switch to an english muffin, but if you just have cereal everyday, it gets to be that you dread breakfast time, so you kind of end up just going without any breakfast. But, with this new recipe, it will give you another thing to add to your selection of breakfast choices. This version of yogurt is not actually the most interesting, for I am sure that you would be able to find another one that had chocolate on the top and told you how to put honey on it to make the shape of s bear or something crazily ridiculous like that. This yogurt is just a normal yogurt, but with some little twists on it that allrecipes came up with.

Ingredients:

5 cups of old fashioned oats
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of flaked coconut
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of raisins (any dried fruit can be substituted for the raisins)
1/2 cup of sliced almonds
1 tub of yogurt.

Method:

Preheat the oven (yes, you have to preheat the oven) to 325ºF.

Mix the oats, brown sugar, flaked coconut, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg together in a large bowl.Stir the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the oats mixture; spread the mixture onto a baking sheet.

Bake this mixture of oats and other assortments in the preheated oven for about an hour, stirring the oats every 15 minutes or so until they are a nice golden brown color and are nice and crunchy. Transfer them to a bowl. Stir in the raisins and sliced almonds.
If you do not want to add yogurt, then here is the place to stop. You have made a delicious granola that can be used in all sorts of ways.

The next step is to add in the yogurt. Take whatever portion of yogurt you would like to eat that morning, I usually like about 3 piled tablespoons, and pour however much of your freshly made granola you would like over the top. Stir it in and Voila, your breakfast is complete!
