Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup whole almonds (2 1/2 oz)
1/2 cup pecans (2 oz)
1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds (2 oz)
1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (2 1/2 oz)
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, softened
Special Equipment
a nonstick bakeware liner such as Silpat; a candy thermometer; parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread oats, almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds in an even layer in a large shallow baking pan and bake, stirring occasionally, until oats are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with pumpkin seeds and zest.
  • Line a baking sheet with nonstick liner. Cook brown sugar, syrup, juice, and salt in a 4- to 6-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon (be careful not to splash or splatter while stirring; mixture will become extremely hot), until it registers 290°F on thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in butter until melted (mixture will thicken and become opaque), then quickly add nut mixture and stir until coated well. Immediately pour onto liner, then cover mixture with a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Roll out brittle as thin as possible with a rolling pin. Carefully peel off parchment paper and discard (don't worry if some caramel sticks to parchment).
  • Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Break brittle into large pieces.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy saucepan. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Cook the sugar mixture over medium heat. This will allow the sugar to caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the sugar mixture constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Add the oats, nuts, and seeds once the sugar mixture is a light amber color. Stir to coat the oats, nuts, and seeds in the sugar mixture.
  • Pour the granola brittle mixture onto a greased baking sheet. Spread the mixture out into a thin layer.
  • Let the granola brittle cool completely. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Break the granola brittle into pieces. Store the granola brittle in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Maple granola brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. It is a great way to use up leftover maple syrup. This recipe is also a great way to get your daily dose of oats, nuts, and seeds. Maple granola brittle is a perfect snack for on-the-go or to enjoy at home.
