Healthy Granola with Olive Oil

1/30/2024

You can eat this delicious granola with milk, kefir, on top of yogurt, or on overnight oats (recipe here). It gives a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients:

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/4 cups raw pecans, left whole or coarsely chopped
1 cup hulled raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup hulled raw sunflower seeds
1 cup unsweetened coconut chips
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar or honey other. Both are delicious 😋
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 300°F. In a large bowl, mix the oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, maple syrup, oil, brown sugar or honey, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, for about 45 minutes total, until the granola is toasted.
Remove the granola from the oven; season with additional salt to taste. Let cool completely before serving.
Do ahead: can be made 1 month ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature.

These recipes are very similar - I used 4 c of oats and the dried fruits I had on hand. Make sure you add those after taking the tray out of the oven- fruits burns (I made that mistake). Sometimes I add 2/3 cups of tahini too!
