I don't mean to brag...

But I'm, like, the best cook EVAR!
Okay, not really. I don't really think that, but I AM willing to put in minimal time for maximum flavor.
So, when I made Granola and Brownie in a Mug and gave them as cheap-o Dave Ramsey Christmas gifts and then got compliments, well, let's just say it went to my head.

So, for the few, the proud, who got my cheap-as-free gifts, here are the recipes:
Granola
(adapted from Megan's Granola on Allrecipes)

• 8 cups rolled oats
• 1.4 cup sunflower seeds
• Up to 3 cups combined of any nuts you like
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups raisins or sweetened dried cranberries

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment or aluminum foil.
2. Combine the oats, wheat germ, oat bran, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, and walnuts in a large bowl. Stir together the salt, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, oil, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then pour over the dry ingredients, and stir to coat. Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 20 minutes. Stir once halfway through. Remove from oven. Stir in the raisins or cranberries, then, using a paper towel, press down gently all over to make tasty chunks.  Cool completely before storing in an airtight container. 

Brownie in a Mug (adapted from an internet website, but I've made it so many times, it's mine)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• dash of salt
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla
• dash of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons flour

Directions

1. Whisk together oil, water, vanilla and salt in a microwavable mug.
2. Add dry ingredients, whisking after each addition.
3. Place mug in microwave, and heat on high for 40-60 seconds, using less time for a "fudgier" brownie, more for a "cakier" one.
4. Carefully remove and enjoy!
