Best Cinnamon Walnut Granola Recipes

BANANA GRANOLA WITH CINNAMON, NUTMEG AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add the mashed banana to a medium saucepan along with the brown sugar and coconut oil. Stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pot comes to a sputtering boil. (You'll hear it popping.) Cook for another 60 to 90 seconds, swirling the pan often so the mixture doesn't burn.
• Remove the pan from the heat, allow the sputtering to subside, then stir in the lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in the oats and walnuts until combined.
• Spread the mixture out on the prepared sheet pan in an even layer. Using a spatula, press the oats down into a layer that is about 1/2-inch thick. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating halfway through, then remove the sheet pan from the oven and, using a butter knife, break the granola into large, 2- to 2 1/2-inch clusters on the baking sheet.
• Spread the clusters evenly around the pan and bake again until the clusters are a deep golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes, rotating and tossing halfway through so they don't burn.
• Remove the pan from the oven and allow the granola to cool for at least 30 minutes on the counter to harden slightly. Once the granola has cooled, break it up with your hands into small or medium clusters, depending on preference. Allow to cool completely, at least one more hour.
• Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to a month (or in the freezer, where it'll stay crisp for at least 3 months).

CINNAMON ROLL GRAINLESS GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, combine the raisins and enough water to cover in a small bowl; soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Combine the walnuts, almonds and pecans in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Alternatively, you can use a large knife to chop the nuts. In a large bowl, stir together the nuts, maple syrup, pumpkin seeds, applesauce, cinnamon, salt, softened raisins and 1/4 cup water. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until golden and crisp, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack; break into pieces.
