Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
1 1/2 cup raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup pepitas)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (if you're using standard table salt, scale back to 3/4 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)
Totally optional additional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
  • Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
  • Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
  • Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
  • Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

COCO-NUTTY GRANOLA



Coco-Nutty Granola image

The brown rice syrup in this recipe is optional-I personally don't sweeten my granola at all. Perhaps make half a batch with the syrup, half without, and see what you like. I like to eat this granola with yogurt--nice and chunky. This recipe is reprinted from the new book I Quit Sugar by Sarah Wilson.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
2 cups mixed nuts
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon
5-7 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
3 tablespoons brown rice syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine all the ingredients, then spread evenly on a tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden, turning halfway through the cooking time. I like to bake mine until quite dark-the darker it is, the crunchier. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then eat while it's still crispy.

CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE GRANOLA



Chef John's Chocolate Granola image

Don't be deceived by its indulgent, chocolaty flavor--this granola contains less sugar than most. Introducing cocoa into the mix not only makes it delicious, but it also makes it better for you! Possibly... The point is this really tastes great, with a pronounced chocolate flavor, and would make a wonderful treat for chocolate lovers and hippies alike.

Time 1h10m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups rolled oats
¾ cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, cayenne pepper, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add oats and almonds. Toss and smear the mixture together using a spatula until well coated. Spread mixture evenly over a silicone-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Toss granola with a fork, breaking up any clumps to get a finer texture. Continue baking until desired texture is reached, 30 to 60 minutes more. Sprinkle some granola onto a plate; if it clinks, it is ready. Turn off the oven and leave granola inside the oven to dry and cool to room temperature.
