Ingredients
For the Granola:
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- ¼ cup millet or uncooked quinoa, or substitute additional rolled oats, uncooked
- ¼ cup Flaxseed or substitute rolled oats, ground
- ¾ cup nuts I used a mix of almonds, pecans, and hazelnuts, raw
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves ground
- ¼ cup coconut oil or olive oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Mix-ins:
- ¼ cup candied ginger chopped
- ¼ cup golden raisins dried cranberries, or diced dried apricots
Instructions
- Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, millet, flaxseed, nuts, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Drizzle the coconut oil, maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla over the oat mixture, then stir until well combined and evenly moistened.
- Spread the granola in an even later on the prepared baking sheet, then use the back of a spatula or your fingers to press it into a flat, even layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven, stir in the candied ginger and golden raisins, then press back into a flat layer. Bake 10 additional minutes, until golden and fragrant (the granola will still be a little moist).
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. The granola will continue to crisp and dry as it cools.
Notes
- TO STORE: Store leftover granola at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
- TO FREEZE: Granola may be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container. For best results, make sure it is completely cool before freezing to limit the amount of moisture in the granola. Otherwise, it may lose its crunch once defrosts. Let thaw at room temperature before serving.
