I could not find this image with a reverse image search, if anyone knows the artist I would love to attribute it.
This kind of thing doesn't always make sense to me, but if I have a headache and I'm feeling gritty then it resonates. I think it's important that the background is a kind of warm orangey off-white, anything else could have a totally different feel? 🤔
Homemade granola is one of the easiest baking hacks
Making granola from scratch is about the earthy-crunchiest thing you can do in your kitchen. It’s also an easy way to save some money on grocery bills that Trump’s tariffs seem doomed to make worse while getting tasty and original results from ingredients you probably already have around and have been meaning to use up.
I’ve been doing that for the last few years after deciding to try the recipe in Alton Brown’s cookbook Good Eats: The Early Years. That lists ingredients by weight, so for this post I adopted his version on Food Network’s site, which has conventional volume measurements, while keeping my other modifications from that book.
Much more so than in other ingredients, treat the parts of this list between oatmeal and sugar as a template. You could use pecans instead of walnuts, sub in cashews in place of the almonds, or use whatever other leftover nuts are taking up space in the pantry or fridge or freezer as long as they wouldn’t seem too weird for breakfast.
You can also replace the five-spice powder with the seasoning of your choice in the same way I used that instead of original recipe’s shredded sweet coconut because I’m not crazy about coconut in baked goods. I also dialed back the sugar and maple syrup, but you could add another two tablespoons of each to match the original.
Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F and begin to combine the ingredients in a large bowl. After you’ve added the oats, nuts and brown sugar, pour over the maple syrup and oil, add the salt and spice, and stir vigorously until combined.
Scrape the mixture onto a sheet pan, preferably lined with a silicone cooking sheet to speed cleanup. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven, let cool and then enjoy with milk or yogurt at breakfast or any other time, with raisins or dried cranberries added if you wish.

Here’s a throwback to an article I wrote in 2022, just in case anyone is still under the mistaken idea that being normal is something to aim for https://medium.com/the-orange-journal/10-things-you-probably-think-everyone-does-that-i-dont-afe030df0513?sk=d6929d326a0a0f0a2ffdc8800b2edcfd
