Best Yummy Healthy Granola Recipes

HEALTHY GRANOLA

Healthy Granola image

We decided to give granola a makeover, and not just by cutting calories and sweeteners. Yes, we trimmed the sugar-but we also added healthy fats, like olive oil, and increased the fiber by including with almonds, sesame seeds and puffed millet. One 1/2-cup serving delivers 4 grams of fiber and only 8 grams of sugar! Add some milk (for calcium and protein) and your favorite dried or fresh fruit and you've got a complete breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups puffed millet
1 cup sliced skin-on almonds
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/3 cup roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt

Steps:

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Toss together the oats, millet, almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
Whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl.
Pour the olive oil mixture into the oat mixture and toss until evenly coated. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, tossing the mixture around about halfway through, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet, then store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Time 25m

Yield 1 large batch, 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups oats (I use multi-grain)
1/2 cup applesauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey (I use creamed honey)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup cashew pieces (or any other nut you like)
3/4 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Put oats in a microwaveable bowl and cook for two minutes, stirring after one. (This warms the oats helping to melt all the ingredients together).
Add remaining ingredients, except the dried fruit, and stir until very well blended.
Pour mixture into two large oven safe dishes and bake for 20 minutes, stirring every five.
Add dried fruit.
Spread on wax paper to cool.
