Almond Maple Coconut Granola image

After trying many granola recipes that just had way too much sugar and oil, I sought out to make my own. This recipe is still sweet and tasty without the loads of sugars and oils. This is also a very large-yielding recipe, as I make it in bulk and store it so I won't have to make it for a while. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

CHERRY-ALMOND COCONUT GRANOLA



CHERRY-ALMOND COCONUT GRANOLA image

Categories     Breakfast     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Total time: About 1 hour
Servings: Makes about 6 cups
Note: This granola is not as sweet as you might be used to. It would be nice sprinkled over vanilla ice cream for dessert, or over Greek yogurt for an afternoon snack.
1 cup shredded or shaved unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup slivered or sliced almonds, your choice
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
About 1 cup dried cherries (a 5- to 6-ounce bag)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 275 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the coconut in a single layer on the parchment paper and toast just until some of the edges of the coconut begin to color but the coconut is still mostly white, 3 to 7 minutes (timing will vary depending on how finely the coconut is shredded). Remove and set aside to cool (leave the parchment paper on the baking sheet). 2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Stir in the honey, vanilla and salt, then stir in the oats, almonds and sesame seeds. Add the brown sugar and stir gently until everything is completely combined. Transfer the granola to the parchment-lined baking sheet, breaking up any clumps so the granola is spread out in a single layer. 3. Toast the granola, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes, until the mixture is golden brown, about 40 to 60 minutes. Remove the tray and set aside to cool, then transfer the granola to a large bowl. Add the toasted coconut and cherries, stirring well to combine.

COCONUT ALMOND CLUSTER GRANOLA



Coconut Almond Cluster Granola image

As terrific as homemade granola tastes, its texture often lacks the thick, crunchy clusters found in store-bought versions. This recipe is an exception, filled with crisp, sweet clumps of oats, coconut flakes and seeds. The secret is grinding a portion of the oats and coconut into flour, which helps bind the ingredients together. Feel free to mix up the spices, nuts and seeds to taste, and to add dried fruit or chocolate chips after it cools if you like. Granola is adaptable, so make it the way you like it. You can also cut the brown sugar in half. The granola will be less sweet and less cluster-packed but still quite satisfying.

Granola is a popular breakfast and snack food that is both delicious and nutritious. It is typically made from rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, and can be customized to suit a variety of tastes and dietary needs. One popular variation of granola is almond coconut granola, which combines crunchy almonds and shredded coconut with the natural sweetness of honey or maple syrup. In this article, we will explore some valuable tips for making delicious almond coconut granola recipes.

Tip 1: Use high-quality ingredients

When making almond coconut granola, it is important to use high-quality ingredients that are fresh and flavorful. This means using fresh, whole almonds that are not stale or rancid, as well as shredded coconut that is free from any preservatives or artificial sweeteners. It is also important to choose a high-quality sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, that is free from any additives or preservatives. This will ensure that your granola is as healthy and delicious as possible.

Tip 2: Add a variety of nuts and seeds

While almonds are a key ingredient in almond coconut granola, adding a variety of other nuts and seeds can help to enhance the flavor and nutritional content of your granola. Some great options to consider include walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. These ingredients not only add flavor and texture to your granola, but also provide a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

Tip 3: Mix in dried fruits after baking

While dried fruits are a common ingredient in granola recipes, it is best to mix them in after baking. This is because dried fruits can easily burn and become too chewy or tough when mixed in with the other ingredients during baking. Instead, wait until your granola has cooled and mix in your preferred dried fruits, such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates. Not only will this ensure that your dried fruits retain their texture and flavor, but it will also prevent them from burning.

Tip 4: Monitor your baking time

One common mistake that people make when baking granola is leaving it in the oven for too long. This can cause your granola to become overly crunchy, dry, and burnt, which can detract from its overall flavor and texture. To avoid this, it is important to monitor your baking time carefully and remove your granola from the oven as soon as it is golden brown and fragrant. This typically takes around 20-25 minutes, but may vary depending on your oven and the specific ingredients you use.

Tip 5: Store your granola properly

Proper storage is key to keeping your almond coconut granola fresh and flavorful for as long as possible. It is best to store your granola in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for an extended period of time, you may also want to consider storing your granola in the fridge or freezer to help preserve its freshness and prevent it from going stale.

Conclusion

Almond coconut granola is a delicious and nutritious breakfast and snack food that can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of dietary restrictions or preferences. By following these valuable tips, you can make your own delicious and healthy almond coconut granola at home, and customize it to suit your specific tastes and nutritional needs. So why not give it a try today?
