I would love to say I have a batch of this made at all times, but I don't.  I wish I did.  Anyway, we have issues here with granola.  My youngest Ds can not eat nuts.  However, he can eat seeds.  So this one is good because I can do sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds instead of nuts.  I would also triple this batch.

Granola Recipe:

3 cups (300 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup (25 grams) shredded sweetened or unsweetened coconut

1 cup (100 grams) sliced almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, and/or pumpkin seeds

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup - 1/2 cup (60 - 120 ml) pure maple syrup or honey (or to taste)

1 cup dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, apricots and/or raisins) (optional)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (175 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Either butter or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl combine the rolled oats, coconut, nuts, ground cinnamon, and salt. 

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter (or oil), and maple syrup (or honey). Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and toss together, making sure all the dry ingredients are coated with the liquids. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 25 - 35 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally so the mixture browns evenly. (The browner the granola gets (without burning) the crunchier the granola will be.) Place on a wire rack to cool. You will notice that the granola may still be sticky when it is removed from the oven but it will become crisp and dry as it cools. Make sure to break up any large clumps of granola while the mixture is still warm. Once the granola has completely cooled, store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks.

Makes about 4 cups of Granola.

Note:  Once the granola has cooled completely you can add a variety of dried fruits; cherries, cranberries, raisins, and apricots are popular choices.

Blessings,

Trixi

“I want to know one thing,” said John Wesley, “—the way to heaven: how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be a man of one book.”
