FLAX GRANOLA



Flax Granola image

From Lyn-Genet Recitas' book, The Plan. She says, "Making your own flax granola is very easy. You can double the amounts of ingredients if you wish, to have more granola on hand." You may use any amounts or combination of dried fruits and nuts as the ones listed below are suggestions. Prep time doesn't include the overnight refrigeration. Where no amount is indicated it is "to taste".

FLAX AND MIXED GRAINS GRANOLA



Flax and Mixed Grains Granola image

I use toasted flaxseeds for this nutty, not-too-sweet granola. Because the seeds are already toasted, it's important to bake the mixture at a low temperature so they don't burn.

Time 1h

Yield About 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 cups flaked or rolled oats, or a mixture of flaked or rolled oats and other grains, such as rye and wheat
1 cup oat bran
1 cup coarsely ground toasted flaxseeds
1 cup chopped nuts (I recommend almonds and pecans)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (to taste)
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup mild honey, like clover honey, or agave syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 to 2 cups raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Toss together all of the dry ingredients except the raisins in a very large bowl. Combine the oil, honey and vanilla in a saucepan or measuring cup. Warm over low heat, or heat at 50 percent power in a microwave. Do not let the mixture come to a simmer. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir to coat evenly.
  • Spread the granola mixture on the sheet pans, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until golden, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes and switching the pans from lower to middle racks. Remove from the heat, stir in the raisins if using, and allow to cool on the pans. Store in well sealed jars, bags or containers.
