NUTTY GRANOLA

A very easy-to-make granola recipe that is delicious and the best snack ever. All the girls at my office eat this with yogurt every day. It's awesome! If you don't have some of the dry ingredients, just add more of what you do have. Walnuts are a fine substitute for pecans. You can also try dried blueberries instead of or with the cranberries.

NUT-AND-SEED GRANOLA

We left the oats out of this low-carb, low-sugar granola. Our taste testers were split on the level of toastiness: Some liked the granola golden brown, while others liked a deeper, more robust version. Just follow the recipe's visual cues (and your nose) for your preferred doneness.

Time 1h20m

Yield 7 servings (1/3 cup per serving)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced skin-on almonds
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack at the bottom of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk the maple syrup and oil together in a large bowl. Add the almonds, pecans, coconut, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed and salt, and toss to coat.
  • Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove it from the oven, and scrape and toss the mixture around. Continue to bake until golden and still slightly sticky, 10 to 12 minutes more. Or, for a deeper, toasted version, bake until deeply golden (you may start to smell the toasted nuts), 13 to 15 minutes more. Let cool. (The granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.)

Time 38m

Yield 13 1/2 cup servings, 13 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat bran or 1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (use all raw nuts, seeds and wheat germ)
1 cup raisins (I use a mix of thompsons' and golden)
1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225°F.
  • Mix first six ingredients together and spread evenly on a couple of cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and stir. Bake another 15 minutes. While it bakes, assemble the other ingredients. (coat the 1/4 cup measure with oil before using it for maple syrup).
  • Immediately transfer oat mixture to a large bowl and stir in the dried fruit and cinnamon. Slowly, pour in the maple syrup and stir to mix well.
  • Let it cool and store in an airtight container where, my guess is, it'll keep up to a month. Like it'll last that long :-).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will give your granola a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different sweeteners. Honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar are all popular choices, but you can also use brown sugar, coconut sugar, or even stevia.
  • Toast your oats before baking. This will help them to become crispy and flavorful. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Watch the granola carefully while it's baking. It can burn easily, so it's important to stir it frequently and remove it from the oven as soon as it's golden brown.
  • Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to become crunchy and keep its shape.

Conclusion:

Nutty baked granola is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a post-workout treat. It's also a great way to use up leftover nuts and seeds. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious granola at home.
