Lower Fat Cinnamon Granola image

This recipe will probably not rate as "low fat" because of all the nuts, but they're a healthy source of fat. In an effort to reduce the unhealthy fat, there is a minimal amount of butter in the entire recipe. It makes for a dry granola which is especially good for topping yogurt or as the topping for a fruit "cobbler". Feel free to swap out different fruits and nuts to suit your tastes. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (roasted and unsalted)
1/4 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped (roasted and unsalted)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup golden raisin
1/3 cup dried apricot
1/3 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 F.
  • Combine oats through salt in a large bowl, mixing well. Melt butter and stir into honey in a small bowl. Pour honey/butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until evenly moistened. (You need a big sturdy wooden spoon or your hands.).
  • Pour the granola onto two large baking sheets lined w/parchment paper and bake until cereal is evenly toasted, about 30-40 min total. Halfway through, give granola a good stir and return to oven until sufficiently golden brown.
  • Once granola has cooled, stir in dried fruit. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
