Liked your granola concept and decided to ramp it up by taking the liquid ingredients - I used butter and brown sugar - and melted them together but then let them get bubbly, like part way to making toffee. Included vanilla at the last minute - so it wouldn't get burned off - then mixed it in to the oats. Only had to bake for 30 minutes because of the browned butter and semi caramelized sugar gave it a head start. It came out with crispy with a rich flavor. Thanks!

@@owamuhmza Coconut oil would be good but you'll get a different result. The reason butter makes it so amazing is because it responds to heat by toasting the milk solids until they brown and give it a really rich flavor. Just like sugar changes by becoming caramelized and together it's outstanding. But it's worth trying heating coconut to see if the flavor can be enhanced. Might be cause when you toast coconut it developes a new flavor.

If you use some ground flax and ground oats, it will make it stick together a lot more so you get big crumbles!

Wow! Good stuff! If you need low or no sugar, try granulated Monk fruit. 1-1 sugar substitute.

Hmm, loose enough for breakfast cereal or as an ingredient in another dish - like muffins or trail mix. Making it wetter would allow it to make clusters. Making homemade “cracker jacks” includes adding baking soda to the syrup but then it needs to be stirred/baked three times to get all of the popcorn (and peanuts) coated. A higher level of syrup is needed for peanut brittle. Yes, this is a great “base ingredient” for other foods - or cereal as is. I like it. Time to price the ingredients.

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the alpha-amino acids, which comprise proteins. Only 22 alpha amino acids appear in the genetic code. Amino acids can be classified according to the locations of the core structural functional groups, as alpha- (α-), beta- (β-), gamma- (γ-) or delta- (δ-) amino acids; other categories relate to polarity, ionization, and side chain group type (aliphatic, acyclic, aromatic, containing hydroxyl or sulfur, etc.). In the form of proteins, amino acid residues form the second-largest component (water being the largest) of human muscles and other tissues. Beyond their role as residues in proteins, amino acids participate in a number of processes such as neurotransmitter transport and biosynthesis. It is thought that they played a key role in enabling life on Earth and its emergence. Amino acids are formally named by the IUPAC-IUBMB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature in terms of the fictitious "neutral" structure shown in the illustration. For example, the systematic name of alanine is 2-aminopropanoic acid, based on the formula CH3−CH(NH2)−COOH. The Commission justified this approach as follows

I was wondering the exact same thing because let's face it, it ain't granola if it ain't got those nuggs, they are a required component!
