Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups rolled oats
½ cup chopped almonds
½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
⅓ cup shredded coconut
½ cup dried currants

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
  • Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, and salt in a bowl. Add oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut. Mix well, making sure all ingredients are coated evenly.
  • Pour onto prepared baking sheet and distribute in an even layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes lightly with the tines of a fork so mixture toasts evenly and granola is golden brown.
  • Pour into a bowl and, while mixture is still hot, mix in currants. Cool. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

I love this granola, but I wish it had more protein. I'm going to try adding some protein powder next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granola came out too dry. I think I should have added more oil or butter.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or maple syrup.

My kids love this granola. They eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm not complaining, though. It's a healthy snack that they actually enjoy eating.

This granola is the perfect snack to take on the go. I love to pack it in my lunch bag or take it with me when I'm hiking or biking.

I like to add dried fruit and chocolate chips to my granola. It makes it even more delicious and satisfying.

This granola is a great way to use up leftover oats and nuts. I always have a bag of oats and a container of mixed nuts in my pantry, so I can make this granola whenever I want.

I love how easy this granola is to make. I just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. Then I spread it on a baking sheet and bake it for 30 minutes. That's it! I have delicious, healthy granola that I can enjoy all week long.
