Mmm Mmm Monday: Granola

Bowl #1
3 cups oats
3 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Bowl #2
1/3 cup Hot Mama’s Orange Blossom Honey
¼ cup Canola Oil ( I prefer to use Olive Oil)
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Mix all of the ingredients in bowl #1 together

Mix all of the ingredients in bowl #2 together

Combine both bowls together and spread onto a baking sheet.

Bake on the center rack in the oven at 300 degrees. After 15 minutes
Remove the baking sheet and stir. I would suggest that you use a
spatula to turn the oats. Return to the oven and bake for a
further 20 to 30 minutes. Oats should be light brown. Be careful
not to overcook.

Remove from the oven and stir the oats around so that it does not
stick to the baking sheet and which will allow it to cool down.

Optional Ingredients to be added after it is cool:-
dried fruits – such as coconut, raisins, nuts, M&M’s

Store in an airtight container or in the refrigerator.

A Message from Hot Mama’s

Hello Everyone,

The air is filled with a wonderful smell. That’s right…Mango season has started! A little early, but never the less, it is here. Belize is blessed with many different varieties, so enjoy them while they last.
For the first time this year, there will be a Mango Festival held in the village of Hopkins on June 4th . The day will focus on fun filled activities and wonderful tasty mango treats being offered by the local restaurants, resorts and of course by Hot Mama’s herself. There will be canoe races, basketball and volleyball tournaments, a food court and plenty of activities for families and kids. Come and join in the fun and be sure to come by our booth to taste our great mango salad and the new Mango Sting sauce.
