Preheat the oven to 250° F
1 14fl-oz can sweetened condensed milk (preferably organic)
2 ½ cups oats (not instant)
1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, mango, apricot, etc)
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut (optional, but very yummy addition)
1 cup mixed seeds, preferably raw (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower)
1 cup preferably raw nuts (almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut)
**If you choose to omit the granola, simply add 1 cup more of both seeds and nuts to your mix.
Preheat the oven to 250° F
Oil or butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan
Warm the condensed milk slowly, over low heat. Meanwhile, mix all the other ingredients together in a large bowl
Add the warm condensed milk to your nut mix, using a rubber spatula to fold and distribute through
Spread the mixture into the oiled/buttered pan and press down with the spatula to make the surface even.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes-1 hour.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Cut into squares and allow to cool for another 5 minutes
Gently remove the squares from the pan with a spatula and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
(I have left the bars to cool completely inside the pan after cutting, but they become rather difficult to remove once that happens. I think it’s better to gently remove them when they’re still a bit warm.)

/ January 4, 2011Helloooo ladies! A welcome addition you are to the internet!
I didn’t know half the reasons I was drinking raw goat milk, and now I do. Thank you.
I have a question about the granola nut recipe, though. It doesn’t actually list granola in the ingredients, although it states it can be left out. Is it the raw oats you mean? Or is it just missing? Or am I blind?
Thanks, and keep it coming!
