Eight-Grain Granola image

Here is a granola recipe, adapted from the chef Anup Joshi, that is packed with protein and texture. It combines rolled oats, spelt, teff, amaranth and other grains into a healthy power punch. You may need to explore the bulk-food section of your grocery to gather these ingredients, but the extra shopping time will result in a sweet, salty crunch, laden with dried fruit.

Time 1h15m

Yield About 6 cups (6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup kamut flakes or kamut puffs
1 cup spelt flakes
2 tablespoons black quinoa
2 tablespoons millet
2 tablespoons buckwheat groats
1 tablespoon teff (an African cereal grain)
1 tablespoon amaranth
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup granulated raw sugar
2 teaspoons sea salt
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup Marcona almonds
1/4 cup seedless raisins
1/4 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup dried currants
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, kamut, spelt, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, teff and amaranth. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, sugar, salt, oil and almonds. Add to the bowl of grains and mix until well combined.
  • Spread mixture evenly across baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown; the mixture will still be soft and wet, but will become firm and crisp as it cools. Remove from heat and mix in raisins, apricots, currants and cranberries, then cool completely. If necessary, break up clumps into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

I'm a big fan of granola, and this recipe is one of my favorites. It's so versatile - I love it with yogurt, milk, or just by itself as a snack. It's also really easy to make, and it keeps well in an airtight container.
