I was doubling a granola recipe and, while editing lots of other ingredients, I decided to switch up the spicing from just good ol' cinnamon! Now I'm posting it here to remember what I did. Hope you enjoy it, too. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups rolled oats |
1/2 cup walnuts, broken |
1/4 cup almonds |
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (see note) |
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Note about nuts & seeds: You can vary the proportions of these three, or try entirely different ones if you like. You can also add more coconut if you're a big fan.
2. Mix the first five ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil. Cook at a simmer for a minute or two, then pour this over the oat mix. Stir all together thoroughly. (I find a fork works well.).
4. In a 275 F oven, bake on two pans for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown, stirring and switching racks every 10 minutes. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container.
5. A serving is about 2/3 cup (for me, anyway). Enjoy with lots of milk/soymilk and fruit on top!
