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.
Servings 10
Ingredients
- Coconut oil for greasing pan or parchment paper
- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups mixed nuts I used pecans, walnuts and almonds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
- ½ cup maple syrup or pancake syrup
- ¼ cup honey Carrie uses molasses
- 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
- Additional dried fruit as needed
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.
