I was looking for an alternative to my tried-and-true granola recipe and came up with this keeper. This recipe can be doubled, but it will take an additional 20 minutes of baking if using one large sheet pan.
Lindsay
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raw pistachios
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup coconut chips
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries
Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl, combine oats, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, coconut chips, maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon and cardamom.
Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Add the dried fruit and toss to combine. I like to eat this with a little yogurt, homemade or Greek are delicious.
