I Love Granola With Those Yummy Clusters
You choose all the delicious ingredients. I’ll make some suggestions and you decide what is best for you and your family. I hope you love the idea that this granola is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, but feel free to use a flavoring of your choice. This is a quick and easy recipe that takes about 10 minutes of preparation before you pop it in the oven.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups Organic Rolled Oats
-
1 1/2/ cups Raw Nuts (almond, cashew, pecan, pistachio, hazelnut, macadamia)
-
1 cup Seeds of your choice You may also want to add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of additional seeds of your choice (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flax seeds)
-
Optional: 1 cup coconut flakes and 1 cup dried fruit (cranberry, pear, apricot, pineapple, cherry, apple, raisin)
-
1/3 cup Maple Syrup
-
1/3 cup Coconut Oil or Olive Oil
-
1 teaspoon Vanilla
-
1/2 teaspoon Salt
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon cardamon or nutmeg
-
1 tablespoon orange zest (optional)
Let’s Make Granola:
-
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
-
Pour in the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
-
Spread out on a parchment-lined sheet pan or two.
-
Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 325 F, stirring halfway through, patting down and rotating the pan. (This patting down process with a spatula halfway through baking allows those wonderful clusters to form.)
-
Let cool before storing.
-
Store in an airtight container or jar. It will last up to 6 weeks.
How Are You Planning On Serving Your Granola?

Eat it like trailmix or a snack.
Get creative and have fun!!
