More Homemade Granola
Surprise, surprise. I made a new recipe for granola over the weekend. I found this recipe on a great cooking blog I recently came across—Kiss My Spatula. The author tweaked the recipe from one found in The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. Great recipe. I love this granola!
Ingredients
• 4 cups organic rolled oats
• 1/2 cup chopped or slivered almonds
• 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
• 3 tbsp flax seeds
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup veggie or olive oil (or 1/3 cup applesauce)
• 1/3 cup good honey
• 1/3 cup apple juice or apple cider
• 1 cup dried cranberries, or favorite dried chopped fruit
Method
1. Heat oven to 350º. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, flax seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Whisk the oil, honey, and apple juice in measuring cup.
2. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated. Spread onto a large sheet pan.
3. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even golden brown, around 45 minutes.
4. Remove granola from the oven and allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries. Store cooled granola in an airtight container.
