And by "another", I don't mean that I've written one before, I just mean that there are so many different recipes out there! It's really kinda impossible to follow a recipe when it comes to granola. There are so many ingredients to choose from, and so many possibilities. So I'm offering here, just another possibility. :) Change the variables to make one that pleases you most!Yummy Granola
adapted from here & here & here
dry ingredients:
2.5 cups oats
1/3 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup coconut
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
wet ingredients:
1/3 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp honey
1/2 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
dried fruit:
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup cherries
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a (very) large bowl, stir dry ingredients until well distributed. Add wet ingredients & blend until the mixture is coated evenly. Spread mixture into a cookie pan that has sides and place in oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
I like my granola rather crispy, but if you prefer yours not so crunchy, make sure to check on it earlier & make sure that it's not getting too brown for you. It will harden out of the oven, so there's no need to bake it until it looks completely solid.
