MAPLE WALNUT GRANOLA



MAPLE WALNUT GRANOLA image

Categories     Vegetarian

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 c rolled oats (not quick cooking)
2 c coarsely chopped walnuts, pecans, peanuts, cashews, or a combination
1 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t salt
3/4 c melted virgin coconut or olive oil
2/3 c pure maple syrup or honey
1 T vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300. Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, maple syrup/honey, and vanilla. Pour the oil mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to combine and coat evenly. Spread the oat mixture over two large baking sheets in an even layer. Bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is lightly browned and slightly crisp (it will crisp up further as ti cools). Turn off the oven and let cool for about 1 hour in the pan, until completely cooled, then pour the granola into a container, cover and store in the pantry, where it will keep for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the granola will taste. Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, and make sure the walnuts are fresh and not rancid.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're baking the granola, make sure to spread it out in an even layer on the baking sheet. If the granola is too crowded, it won't bake evenly and will be more likely to burn.
  • Stir the granola frequently: While the granola is baking, stir it every 10-15 minutes to ensure that it bakes evenly and doesn't burn.
  • Let the granola cool completely before storing it: Once the granola is baked, let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help the granola to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Maple walnut granola is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. It's easy to make at home with fresh, high-quality ingredients. With its sweet and nutty flavor, maple walnut granola is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
