CRANBERRY PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, pecans, cinnamon, cranberries and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup with the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture all over the oat mixture, and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Spread the mixture evenly out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the granola every 15 minutes with a large wooden spoon. Remove from the oven, and allow the granola to cool completely before adding the chocolate chips (if using). Break the cooled granola up and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

• In a 2 cup microwave-safe measuring cup (or small bowl), mix oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds on 50% power. Stir to combine. If using coconut oil, continue to heat in 30 second increments until coconut oil is completely melted. Pour over dry ingredients and stir until everything is coated. Spread into an even layer on prepared baking sheet.
• Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

QUICK CRANBERRY PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large, heavy baking sheet with non-stick spray, or brush with a little bit of oil. Whisk oil, egg whites, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the oats, pecans, almonds, and flaxseed meal. Mix well. Spread the mixture evenly across the baking sheet, then bake for 15 minutes. Pecans are delicate, so stir well and turn the mixture about to avoid burning. Bake for 10 more minutes, then stir in the dried fruit and drizzle with honey. Toss again. Bake for an additional ten minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from oven and stir to break up clumps. Let cool completely. You can chill this granola in an air-tight container for two weeks. I recommend serving with fresh fruit and good yogurt, or let it speak for itself in a bowl of cold milk.
