Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds*
- ¼ cup dried fruit optional – I used dried currants
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- 1. Generously spray two muffin pans with baking spray. Don’t put the spray away yet, you will be using it in a little while.
- 2. Whisk together brown sugar, honey, oil, salt, and vanilla.
- 3. Mix together oats, almonds, sesame and flax seeds in a medium bowl. Pour liquid over dry ingredients and stir until well combined. After you think it’s well combined, stir one more time as you really want the oat mixture coated with the syrup mixture.
- 4. Divide the oat mixture into the 24 muffin cups, about 1 generous tablespoon into each cup. Using the baking spray can cover (it’s the perfect size), turned upside down, compress the oat mixture by pressing each one several times to create a very flat surface. (If you don’t use cooking spray, be sure to grease your pans well and then use something round and flat to compress the granola with.) Bake at 250˚F. for 30 minutes.
- 5. Remove from oven and compress rounds again with the top of the cooking spray can. Return to oven and bake another 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and press one more time on the top of each round with your upside down cooking spray can. Cool for 10 minutes, then with a thin bladed knife gently pop each round out of it’s cup. Cool on a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container or in small plastic zippered bags for snacks on the go.
Notes
- *Be sure to use ground flax seeds. I used to use the whole seeds but found out that you lose much of the nutritional value as the seeds are not absorbed as well as the ground flax.
- I like to double this recipe – I make 2 dozen granola rounds and a pan of regular loose granola as well. For the regular granola, just spread it out on a sheet pan and bake in the same oven as the Granola Rounds, but leave it in the oven a bit longer until nice and golden. Leave to cool on the pan, then break apart into clumps and store in an airtight container.
