Base
- 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 33333333/100000000 cup sunflower seeds
- 33333333/100000000 cup pumpkin seeds
- 33333333/100000000 cup dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup light olive oil (Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Combine all ingredients except the dried fruit in a large bowl (we will add the dried fruit after baking). Stir well to combine.
- Step 3: Spread the granola in a single layer onto a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, using a spatula to flip over the granola halfway through the cooking time. The granola will be golden and fragrant when ready.
- Step 4: Transfer the nuts (still on the parchment paper) from the hot baking sheet to a cooling rack. Add the dried fruit on top. The residual heat from the granola will soften the dried fruit without burning it. The granola will seem wet, but will dry as it cools. Note: For extra clusters, refrigerate or freeze the cooled granola for 15 minutes before breaking into pieces.
- Serve: Enjoy as is or with yogurt, smoothies, or milk. Store the fully cooled granola in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: No light olive oil? Try using a 50/50 combination of extra-virgin olive oil and grapeseed (or avocado) oil.
