Coconut and Cashew Granola
Description
Coconut and Cashew Granola combines old-fashioned rolled oats with slivered almonds, whole cashews, and shredded, sweetened coconut for a textured, nutty base. Dark brown sugar and pure maple syrup sweeten the mix, while vegetable oil helps distribute the flavors and assists crisping during baking. A small amount of salt enhances the overall flavor balance.
The mixture is spread evenly on rimmed baking sheets and baked at a low temperature for over an hour until golden and crisp. Once removed from the oven and slightly cooled, the granola clusters are broken up before folding in plump raisins, which add chewiness and natural sweetness.
This granola works well for breakfast with milk or yogurt or as a snack. The combination of nuts, coconut, and raisins provides varied textures and flavors, while the slow cook develops rich toasted notes without burning.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 cup almonds slivered
- 1 cup cashews
- ¾ cup coconut shredded, sweetened
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar plus 2 tablespoons
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup plus 2 tablespoons
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut and brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine maple syrup, oil and salt.
- Combine both mixtures by slowly pouring the liquid over the oatmeal mixture and stirring well. Divide in half and pour onto two 11X17-inch rimmed baking sheets, spreading out into an even layer on each sheet.
- Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden.
- Remove from the oven and transfer into a large bowl, slightly breaking up the clumps. Add the raisins and gently mix until even distributed.
