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
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.

OMG!!! are you kidding me right now???? Which would I choose if I HAD to?? I have no idea…chocolate…no peanut….oh boy….
They look FAB!
xxoo
Peanut butter chocolate! The best combo in history; you can’t go wrong!
So so true!
What an awesome idea for using the leftover grain! Those all sound so good…I think a giveaway in the future is an awesome idea š
Ok, I still can’t get over the fact that you’re brewing beer!! How about some beer granola?! With beer nuts! š Or maybe instead of peanuty granola, it could be almondy granola. I am all about the nuts!
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
Wow now that’s a combo I know I’ll be trying! The beer wasn’t overwhelming… Just smelled like delicious sweet beer.
Awesome!! Apple Pie lol anything with apple in it has my vote š
