My sister in law brought over this delicious Granola and after 2 bites I knew I had to get the recipe. Since I started making it and tweeting photos I have been asked to share the recipe.. so here goes:
Ingredients:
Oats – (get the large oats, organic if possible)
Kamut
Spelt
Flax seed (seeds or ground, as we used)
Coconut
Almonds
Pecans
Dried pears (optional – can use currents, apricots, anything instead- I use CURRENTS and they are YUMMY)
Dark chocolate (small chips best) – its yummy with them but the last few batches I left them out & its just as good
Olive oil
Honey
Maple syrup
Cinnamon
Cardamom
Vanilla
Sea Salt
PREPARING:
1) heat the oven to 350
2) Mix all these dried ingredients together in a big bowl. Set aside
2 1/2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups kamut
1/2 cups of spelt (option if you can’t find it I have made it without it and its just as good)
1/3 cup flax seed (or ground flax)
1 cup almonds
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup coconut
3) in a saucepan warm together, stirring continuously until it starts to get frothy:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup or slightly less of maple syrup
1/2 cup of honey
1/2 tsp salt
dash of cardamom
dash of salt
1/2 – 1 tbsp of vanilla (as you like)
4) pour oil/syrup/honey mixture from the saucepan onto the dried ingredients, mix well.
5) spread out on baking sheet – I use parchment paper so it doesn’t stick, but, totally optional.
Make sure the granola is spread out evenly across the pan, and not too thick
6) Bake for about 15-20 minutes
7) Let cool – (a couple of hours/overnight)
Add dried fruit and chocolate chips – mix well and ENJOY!
