ELEVEN MADISON PARK GRANOLA



Eleven Madison Park Granola image

At the end of every meal at the restaurant Eleven Madison Park, in Manhattan, guests are presented with a small gift: a jar of granola for tomorrow's breakfast. It is classic Alpine fare, taken straight from the chef Daniel Humm's childhood in Zurich. The rolled oats are golden with brown sugar and a hint of maple, with salt and a wisp of olive oil for depth. Coconut chips and shelled pistachios provide a hint of whimsy, pumpkin seeds a leathery crunch. Dried sour cherries peek out from here and there, bits of softness to complete the whole. Best of all, the recipe is simple and bulletproof for anyone with a rimmed baking sheet and an oven, at least if you're careful with the kosher salt. Opinions vary greatly over the amount we call for: a whole tablespoon. For some, that is many teaspoons too many. (For many others it is absolutely perfect.) Season to taste.

Time 40m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup unsweetened coconut chips
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup dried sour cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pistachios, coconut, pumpkinseeds and salt.
  • In a small saucepan set over low heat, warm the sugar, syrup and olive oil until the sugar has just dissolved, then remove from heat. Fold liquids into the mixture of oats, making sure to coat the dry ingredients well.
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and spread granola over it. Bake until dry and lightly golden, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring granola a few times along the way.
  • Remove granola from oven, and mix into it the dried sour cherries. Allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to a storage container. Makes about 6 cups.

GRANOLA



Granola image

I used to make a rich holiday granola, but often it burned and stuck to the baking sheets. One of the reasons: I used wheat germ, which browns more quickly than oats. Now I keep the heat low in my oven and line my backing sheets with parchment. Be sure to stir the granola every 10 to 15 minutes, and switch the trays from top to bottom each time you stir. If you want to make a smaller amount, you can halve this recipe.

Time 1h

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups flaked or rolled oats
2 cups oat bran
1/2 cup flax seeds, coarsely ground
1/2 cup coconut, flaked or shaved optional
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 to 3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup mild honey, such as clover
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 to 2 cups raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 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 in a measuring cup, and 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 about 45 minutes to one 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.

OLIVE OIL GRANOLA WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Olive Oil Granola With Dried Apricots and Pistachios image

The secret weapon in this addictive granola is, yes, olive oil, which gives the oats and coconut chips a wonderful crispy bite. Make sure to add the fruit after baking (putting it in the oven will dry it out), and feel free to improvise: swap out the apricots for dried cherries, the pistachios for walnuts, the cardamom for a little nutmeg. But double the batch. You won't want to run out.

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.

Time 1h

Yield 8 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup/120 milliliters coconut oil
1 tablespoon olive oil (or use more coconut oil)
2/3 cup/160 milliliters pure maple syrup
2/3 cup/160 grams packed turbinado or light brown sugar
2/3 cup/160 milliliters coconut or almond milk
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups/455 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup/50 grams unsweetened coconut flakes
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger or cardamom
1 cup/85 grams sliced almonds
1/2 cup/70 grams raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup/65 grams sunflower seeds (optional, or use more pumpkin seeds or almonds)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut oil, olive oil, maple syrup, sugar, coconut milk and salt and bring to a simmer. When sugar has dissolved, stir in vanilla extract and let cool slightly.
  • In a food processor, grind 1 1/4 cups/105 grams of the oats and 1/4 cup/12 grams of the coconut into a flour. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining oats and coconut, the spices, the nuts and the seeds. Pour maple syrup mixture over and stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Using your hands, drop oat mixture onto prepared baking sheets in one layer, and pinch together into clumps with your fingers.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes, flipping the mixture (taking care not to break up the clumps) every 15 minutes. The mixture is done when it's golden brown all over and starting to crisp. It will continue to crisp up after as it cools. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

GRANOLA



Granola image

This somewhat clumpy granola isn't too sweet, so you can feel a little virtuous when you snack on it. It is best to eat it soon after baking, while the clumps still hold; they will eventually fall apart once you put the granola in a jar, but there are enough right after you bake it to qualify it as snacking food in addition to breakfast. Don't stir it when you bake it and when it is done let it cool completely on the baking sheet; that is the trick to clumping. The technique of leaving a "donut hole" in the middle when you spread the granola on the baking sheet comes from www.brighteyedbaker.com. It helps the granola bake evenly.

Time 1h

Yield Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups flaked or rolled oats
1 cup oat bran
1 cup coconut chips
1 cup chopped or slivered nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (to taste)
1 to 2 cups raisins or other chopped dried fruit (optional)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
6 tablespoons canola oil, grape seed oil or rice bran oil
6 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover (add a tablespoon or 2 more if you want it sweeter)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Toss together all of the dry ingredients in a very large bowl.
  • Combine the oil, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring, just until the mixture is fluid. Do not let it come to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir into the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Spread the granola mixture on the sheet pans in an even layer, leaving a donut hole in the center (for even baking) and bake on the middle and lower racks, without stirring, for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden, rotating the baking pans front to back and top to bottom halfway through. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before breaking up into clumps. Store in well sealed jars, bags or containers.
