TOASTED OAT AND NUT GRANOLA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut and brown sugar.
- In a liquid measuring cup, combine the maple syrup, oil, water and salt; stir with a fork until incorporated. Pour into the oat mixture and stir until coated.
- Divide the mixture among 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until the granola is golden brown all over, 45 to 55 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on wire racks. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
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.

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.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I guarantee it won't be around that long!

OAT AND NUT GRANOLA WITH SUNFLOWER SEEDS-THE LODGE AT RED RIVER
From The Lodge at Red River Ranch, Bicknell, UT. Published in Bon Appetit, November 2000. This granola makes a great breakfast served with milk, or a good snack eaten plain. I add raisins, dried cranberries or dried cherries. I also use pecans in place of the walnuts. You could add coconut or other dried fruits. Sometimes I add a little cinnamon. The milk powder and flour help to create nice 1"-1.5" chunks of granola. It can be made up to two weeks ahead.

Tips:
- Choose the right oats. Old-fashioned oats are the best choice for granola because they hold their shape well and don't get too mushy. You can also use quick-cooking oats, but they will result in a softer granola.
- Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will give your granola a lot of flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
- Don't overcook the granola. Granola is best when it's slightly chewy, so keep an eye on it while it's baking. Once it starts to brown, take it out of the oven and let it cool.
- Store the granola in an airtight container. This will help it stay fresh for up to two weeks. You can also freeze the granola for up to six months.
- Enjoy the granola! Granola is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. You can eat it on its own, with milk or yogurt, or as a topping for smoothies or oatmeal.
Conclusion:
Granola is a versatile and delicious snack or breakfast option that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty snack, reach for a handful of granola.
