Our Recipes:Part 1

     Every business has something signature about them. For the Lake Pointe Inn, it's no different. Here we have a select few of recipes that are a staple for every day operations. Our granola is made fresh here in our kitchen and is always available for breakfast, or if you just want a quick snack.

Lake Pointe Gold Granola

½ cup apple juice
½ cup honey
¼ canola oil
1 ½ teaspoon pure almond extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg

4 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup shredded coconut

½ cup sliced almonds
½ shredded coconut

1 cup golden raisins

Put 4 cups oats in a large bowl.  Add almonds and coconut.

In a small saucepan combine apple juice, honey and canola.  Bring just to a boil.  Remove from heat and add almond extract, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Add to oat mixture and combine thoroughly.

Spread mixture evenly on a jelly roll pan.  Bake in 225 degree oven until dry and crispy.  This can take 1 to 2 hours.  Check every 30 minutes and stir.  When granola becomes crisp and golden brown, remove from oven, let cool and add raisins.
