HOW TO MAKE MAGNIFICENT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300ºF.In a large bowl, stir to combine rolled oats, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes. In a separate bowl, stir to combine maple syrup, brown sugar, oil, and salt. Pour wet ingredients over the oats, and mix well. Pour the granola onto a rimmed sheet pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking process. Let the granola cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

BROWN BUTTER GRANOLA CLUSTERS

Steps:

• For the brown butter: Add the butter to a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the skillet to keep the butter moving around, until it melts and bubbles up, 3 to 4 minutes. When the butter is a medium golden brown, remove the skillet from the heat (it will continue browning in the skillet over the next 30 seconds or so!). Pour the butter and any solids into a bowl and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• For the toasted oats: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, toss the oats with the oil, melted butter and salt. Spread the mixture out on the prepared baking sheets and bake, shaking the pans twice during the cooking time and making sure the oats don't burn, until toasted, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool a bit. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• For the clusters: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey and molasses. Stir the mixture until combined, then heat over medium heat, stirring, until barely bubbling. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the brown butter to the pan and stir.
• Toss together the toasted oats, rice cereal, wheat germ, cranberries, pecans, pumpkin seeds, almonds and flax seeds in a large bowl. Pour over the sugar mixture, stirring as you pour. Toss to combine; it will be sticky!
• Line a baking sheet with foil and thoroughly spray with coconut oil spray. Tip the mixture onto the baking sheet, spread out and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool, then use a fork to make clusters. Store in a jar until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the oats, coconut, and almonds together in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil and honey in a small bowl. Pour the liquids over the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated. Pour onto a 13 by 18 by 1-inch sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even, golden brown, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring occasionally. Add the apricots, figs, cherries, cranberries, and cashews. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container.

5-MINUTE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Add the oats, almonds and coconut to a dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Toast in the skillet, stirring, until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wheat germ, then pour onto a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the honey, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Bring to a boil and let cook, stirring, until it combines into a thin syrup, about 1 minute.
• Add the toasted dry ingredients back to the skillet and stir quickly, keeping the granola from clumping too much, but ensuring the dry ingredients are all coated in the syrup, about 1 minute. Serve warm, or allow to cool for 30 minutes, at which point the granola will become crispier.
• Sprinkle the granola over the cold yogurt and garnish with blueberries.
