Mixed Grain Granola Recipes

WHOLE GRAIN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and spread out on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake until golden brown all over, about 35 to 50 minutes. Stir the granola as it bakes at least 2 or 3 times, making sure to stir around the edges. Cool completely before storing airtight.

FLAX AND MIXED GRAINS GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Toss together all of the dry ingredients except the raisins in a very large bowl. Combine the oil, honey and vanilla in a saucepan or measuring cup. Warm over low heat, or heat at 50 percent power in a microwave. Do not let the mixture come to a simmer. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir to coat evenly.
• Spread the granola mixture on the sheet pans, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 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.

MIXED-GRAIN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix flakes and oats in a medium bowl. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until light gold, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and toss to coat. Return to sheet, and spread in an even layer. Bake, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, for 20 minutes. Let cool. Granola can be stored for up to 3 weeks.

BASIC GRANOLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes and then remove from the oven and stir; add the chopped almonds. Return to the oven and bake until everything is toasted and evenly browned, an additional 10 minutes.
• Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet, then add the dried cranberries and toss to distribute. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
