Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
1 1/2 cup raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup pepitas)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (if you're using standard table salt, scale back to 3/4 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)
Totally optional additional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

MY FAVORITE GRANOLA

My Favorite Granola image

This is my version of Bev's delicious Recipe #23108, which is outstanding. As I've "matured," I find that I prefer things that are less sweet and have tweaked Bev's recipe to suit myself. I'm posting it because, this way, I can print out my version and not have to make all the changes to it from my notes each time. :) I've used golden brown sugar, dark brown sugar, and Splenda brown sugar but prefer the Splenda brown sugar. I've used whatever nuts I've had on hand as well. I regularly use canola oil but have used extra virgin olive oil. I quadrupled the cinnamon and reduced the vanilla... which made the granola smell wonderful but didn't seem to improve the flavor. One-cup of this granola makes the perfect breakfast for me and easily tides me over until lunch. I also like a little sprinkled over non-fat Greek yogurt and sliced strawberries for dessert.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup sliced almonds (or slivered)
1/3 cup splenda brown sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300*.
Spray or oil large baking sheet.
Mix oats, almonds, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in large bowl.
In small saucepan, combine oil, honey, and sugar; bring to boil over medium heat.
Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Pour hot liquid over oats mixture, stirring/tossing with rubber scraper to mix well.
Spread granola on prepared baking pan.
Bake until golden brown, approximately 30 minutes, checking frequently after 20 minutes.
Optional: Remove from oven and stir oat mixture every 5-10 minutes of baking. (I don't stir at all -- makes for chunkier granola!).
Remove from oven to cooling rack and cool completely. I do not stir the granola after taking it out of the oven. The granola will clump (stick together) as it cools.
Store up to two weeks in airtight container at room temperature.
Makes 8 cups.
