Cranberry-Almond Granola image

This recipe really caught my eye as it uses cranberry juice concentrate and allspice along with all the delicious nuts and berries. You may also add a number of other dried fruits, pumpking seeds, and a touch of honey or maple syrup to give the sweetness more depth. Recipe is from Bon Appetit.

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

nonstick cooking spray
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 cup pecan halves
1/3 cup frozen concentrated cranberry juice cocktail, thawed
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup dried sweetened cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a heavy large-rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Combine oats, almonds, coconut, and pecans in a large bowl. Combine cranberry juice concentrate, brown sugar, oil, cinnamon and allspice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking until sugar dissolves. Pour hot syrup over oat mixture; stir to coat evenly. Spread mixture out on prepared pan. Bake until golden brown at edges, about 20 minutes. Add dried cranberries, using metal spatula, stir to blend. Bake until granola is golden and beginning to dry, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes longer. Cool completely on baking sheet. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
