Maple & Honey Granola

Granola recipes tend to pile up around here, but this Honey & Maple Granola is one I keep coming back to. It started as Morey Girls Granola from Carrie Morey's Callie's Biscuits Cookbook, but somewhere along the way I changed enough ingredients and proportions that it became its own thing. The combination of honey and maple syrup gives it deep flavor and just the right amount of sweetness, while the oats bake up crisp and crunchy with lots of toasty clusters throughout.

This homemade granola is great for breakfast with yogurt, sprinkled over fruit, or just eaten straight from the container by the handful. It's one of those recipes that makes the kitchen smell amazing while it bakes, and it keeps well enough that having a batch on hand feels like a small luxury.

The recipe below makes a full batch, enough for two large baking sheets, but I often cut it in half and bake it on a single sheet pan. Either way works perfectly, so if you're new to homemade granola or just don't want a giant batch sitting around, the smaller version is an easy place to start.

Maple & Honey Granola

A very sweet and crunchy granola that can be made without oil. I like this one because you just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and spread it on a tray.

Ingredients

 

• 1-2 tablespoon Coconut oil for greasing pan or parchment paper
• 4 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 ½ cups mixed nuts or pecans
• ½ cup sunflower seeds
• ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
• ½ cup maple syrup or pancake syrup (160 grams)
• ¼ cup honey or molasses or a combo of both (80 grams)
• 2 tablespoons organic sugar or raw sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt or 1 full teaspoon if using Diamond
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup additional dried fruit, optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Rub two large (13x18 inch) rimmed baking sheets with coconut oil or regular oil or skip the oil and use parchment.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and spread evenly on the two baking sheets.
• Bake on the middle and lower racks, switching halfway through and stirring every 15 minutes, for about 40 to 45 minute or until granola is browned.
• Remove from oven and let it cool and crisp. Stir in dried fruit if using.
• Note: Carrie bakes hers one big sheet at 350 F. for about 30 minutes, stirring often. I prefer going slow and low at 300 F for about 40 minutes.
