Mamas Granola Recipes

MAMA'S GRANOLA

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter -add brown sugar and vanilla. Stir.
• 2. Combine oats, coconut and nuts in large baking pan. (I always double my batches so I use my large roasting pan.)
• 3. Pour and mix the butter mixture into the oats. Mix until there are no dry spots on the oats. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 mins, stirring every 15 mins.
• 4. Baked granola should have some golden spots but not be so dry that it won't clump. Remove from oven and mix in dried fruits. Immediately put warm granola into mason jars or large jar for storage. Allow to cool without lid. When cool you can break up. Should be moist and crunchy. Store in airtight container.

MOM'S COCONUT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a 9-inch square baking sheet with foil, allowing the foil to extend over the sides of the pan. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix the oats, almonds, coconut, cranberries, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Combine butter, honey and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula until well coated. Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared pan, and using the spatula, press the oats evenly into pan.
• Bake until the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Using the foil, lift the granola out of pan and place it on work surface. Crumble the granola into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
