A Little Extra Hustle: Against the Grain | The Hustle | PragerU Kids

So today we're making our birthday cake granola, which is one of our best sellers. We'll first start off with pouring in the oats. So we have this lovely scale here, and we have everything weighed out in grams, so we know how many grams of each ingredient that we need so it all stays consistent. Now that we're done with the dry ingredients, then we'll move on into putting all these wet ingredients into a pot. Can I pour the honey? >> Yes, please do. >> How much are we going for on this one? 118 grams. Oh, >> okay. >> It comes out fast. I'm >> kind of scared. >> It comes out fast, so got it. Be prepared. >> Okay. How'd you guys figure out the exact measurements for everything? >> Lots of recipe testing. >> Do you guys both taste test each batch when it comes to quality control, or is one of you the like specific taste tester? We actually do not taste test each batch because we do have the numbers down so exact, but at the beginning of our business, we ate our fair share of granola. And now we're gonna do the cake batter flavoring. So it's what actually gives it the birthday cake flavor. Yes. >> Oh my gosh, it smells just like cake batter. >> If we can make a candle out of this one, we would. >> Mhm. >> So we normally do it on low heat so that it doesn't heat up too quickly. And we want it to melt and all the flavors to get together. >> Oh, it smells so good. It smells heavenly. >> Yes. >> So you mentioned there was a time when granola just tasted like nothing. What did you want to do differently with this business? We didn't want to be just another granola on the shelf. We wanted to bring some bold flavors. So that's why we went with birthday cake and cinnamon roll and iced lemon cookie and not your average granola flavors. >> So now we're just going to pour it. >> Yeah. Now we're going to pour it on pan. >> Next we have to put the sprinkles on top. >> That's what makes it fun. >> Oh my gosh, I love this. >> What next? >> It's ready for the oven. >> Ready for the oven? Yes. Let's put it in. So, while we wait for our delicious granola to bake, I have prepared some ideas for new flavors. >> All right. So, feel free to tell me what you feel like, but I wrote them down. Okay. >> Okay. My first one is ice cream cone. >> So, it would be like a vanilla bean and then also there'd be chocolate drizzle on top and pieces of waffle cone. >> That sounds >> The one thing would be getting the waffle cone gluten-free, but we could do it. >> We could get that for sure. S'mores. >> We've done the s'mores flavored it. >> Oh my gosh. Was it good? >> Sometimes the marshmallows get stale. >> Movie theater popcorn. >> Okay. >> What are your thoughts? >> I mean, >> like a savory granola. >> Let's make granola the new movie snack. I like it. >> Key lime pie. >> A lot of people have suggested that flavor. A lot of people want it. >> So, there's certain smells that I just love. There's certain things that I just really would like to be granola. And since you guys can granola anything, I think that we can make it happen. Number one, circus. And but by that I don't mean circus cookie. I just mean circus. >> Just circus. >> Yeah. >> And then I'm going to go with fresh car smell. Do you guys think you could turn that into a granola? >> You know that smell when you crack open a pack of tennis balls. Gasoline and Sharpie because those are two like highly coveted smells, but you're not really allowed to smell them cuz it like kind of like hurts your brain. I think >> I think it's ready. >> Okay. Yeah. And I am officially a granola girl. The third one. >> Thank you so much for watching this episode of The Hustle. To make sure you never miss an episode, subscribe at prageru.com.
