I have been a granola making fool over here!

Though it was time to share some of my recent spent grain granola creations.

It all started with our first day of brewing beer.

Then I was left with cups and cups of this beautiful spent grain.  The left over boiled grains that create malt for beer.

What’s a girl to do? 

Make granola of course Smile

I had fun making a few more varieties recently.  I revamped my chocolate-cherry spent grain granola, and boy was it a hit.  In a major way.

Strawberry-Almond was up next.

The strawberry flavor was light and refreshing.  Jacob told me it reminded him of a cereal, but my old lady memory can’t remember which one.  That boy likes cereal so it’s a good sign!

Lastly peanut-banana was created.

It was in need of some banana chips and a little more tweaking.  That didn’t stop me from munching away at it.

I have more spent grains and will be a granola making girl this weekend. 

What unique flavor should I try out next?

Maybe something with shredded carrot, apple {pie}, tropical or peanut butter-chocolate. 

What do you think?  What unique flavor should I go for this time?

Who knows… there may be a giveaway involved soon.Winking smile

    Ok, I still can’t get over the fact that you’re brewing beer!! How about some beer granola?! With beer nuts! šŸ™‚ Or maybe instead of peanuty granola, it could be almondy granola. I am all about the nuts!

    1. Get Healthy with Heather says:

      I think it’s funny that I never thought to make a beer flavored granola… that seems like a fun challenge!

    Whoa, was the beer smell overpowering? I can’t imagine!

    You should make…white chocolate macadamia banana chip granola! Then give me some of it ;D

    1. Get Healthy with Heather says:
