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.

GRANOLA WITH POPPED QUINOA



Granola With Popped Quinoa image

Quinoa that is toasted until the seeds begin to pop is crunchy, but not hard, with a flavor both grassy and nutty. They enrich this granola in the nicest way, adding texture and flavor, as well as a bit of "stealth health" - the popped quinoa bumps up the protein content.

Time 1h

Yield About 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup quinoa (do not use red or black quinoa)
4 cups flaked or rolled oats
1 cup oat bran
1 cup coconut chips
1 to 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped nuts (preferably a mix of almonds, pecans and cashews), to taste
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1/2 cup agave syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place quinoa in a wide skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir or shake the pan and toast until the quinoa begins to pop and smell like popcorn, 5 to 7 minutes. As soon as the quinoa is popping, pour into a very large bowl and allow to cool.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment. Add all of the remaining dry ingredients to the bowl with the quinoa and toss together.
  • In a saucepan, combine the oils, agave syrup and vanilla. Warm over low heat, stirring, just until the mixture is fluid. You can also heat in a microwave at 50 percent power for 30 to 60 seconds. Do not let it come to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir to blend, and stir into the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Divide the granola mixture between the two sheet pans and spread evenly to cover the parchment in a thin layer. Bake, without stirring, for 30 to 35 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 storing. Break it up into clumps if you'd like. Store in well-sealed jars, bags or containers.

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.

1 tablespoon vanilla
1 to 2 cups raisins (optional)

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.

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.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool before breaking up into clumps. Store in well sealed jars, bags or containers.
