Categories     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake     Roast     Healthy     Granola

Yield makes about 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup pecans
1/2 cup natural almonds
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, cane syrup, or honey, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup chopped pitted dates
1/2 cup dried blueberries, raisins, and/or cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large shallow baking sheet with foil. Spread the pecans and almonds on the sheet and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Transfer the nuts to a board, let cool, and chop the nuts. Set aside.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F. Pour the oats and sesame seeds, if using, in a mound on the same baking sheet. Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave; stir in the maple syrup and salt, and drizzle on top of the oats. Stir well with a rubber spatula and then spread out the oats in an even layer. Bake the oats for 30 minutes, stirring once with the spatula halfway through, until the oats are lightly colored. Let cool; the mixture will crisp as it cools.
  • Add the dates, dried fruit, and reserved nuts to the oats and toss. Store the granola in covered glass jars at room temperature for up to 1 month.

  • Sweeten your granola to taste. You can use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. You can also add dried fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts for extra sweetness.
  • Bake your granola at a low temperature. This will help it to crisp up without burning. You can also stir your granola every 15 minutes or so to help it bake evenly.
  • Let your granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to keep its crispiness. You can store your granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
