Okay, so, strawberries and raisins. Who would’ve thought, right? I mean, I always just ate them separately. But then, I stumbled upon this idea to mix them together, and boy, was I in for a surprise!
First off, I just washed a bunch of strawberries. You know, the usual. Rinsed them under cold water, patted them dry. Then, I chopped them up into smaller pieces. Nothing fancy, just bite-sized.
Next, I grabbed my bag of raisins. Now, I’m not a huge fan of raisins on their own, but something about combining them with strawberries just felt right. So, I measured out about half a cup of raisins and tossed them into a bowl with the strawberries.
- Fresh strawberries, washed and chopped
- Raisins, about half a cup
I mixed everything together, and I gotta say, it looked pretty good. But I wanted to take it up a notch. I had some leftover granola, so I sprinkled that in. And for a little extra sweetness, I drizzled some honey over the top.
My first recipe was born – Strawberry Raisin Granola Mix

- Granola, a handful
- Honey, a drizzle
I took a bite, and wow! The juicy strawberries with the chewy raisins, the crunchy granola, and the sweet honey – it was like a party in my mouth! I ended up eating the whole bowl in one sitting.
But I didn’t stop there. I started experimenting. I added the strawberry-raisin mix to my morning yogurt. I even baked them into some muffins. And let me tell you, those muffins were a hit with my family!

Honestly, who knew that combining strawberries and raisins could be so versatile? It’s like they were meant to be together. These simple recipes totally changed my snack game, and now I can’t imagine going back to plain old strawberries or raisins.
From a simple snack to a breakfast staple, and even a baking ingredient, strawberries and raisins have become my go-to combo. It’s amazing how a little experimentation in the kitchen can lead to such delicious discoveries. I had no idea they could be used in so many ways. It’s been a fun and tasty journey!
