From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. Granola is so versatile. I have two base recipes: One that has a sweet bite from molasses and one that is made with
olive oil.
Molasses Granola
In a bowl whisk together:
1/2 c oil (I use Canola)
1/3 c brown sugar, packed
3 Tbsp real maple syrup (may sub all/ part with honey)
2 Tbsp molasses
4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Drizzle brown sugar mixture over:
5 c rolled oats
2 c rice krispies
Stir to coat.
Line a large pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment.
Press mixture into pan. Pressing helps it form clusters.
Bake @ 325 35-40 minutes.
Let cool. Break into clusters.
Add up to 2 cups favorite add-ins such as:
raisins
craisins
sliced almonds
chocolate chips
coconut
dried apricots
Turkish figs
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Molasses granola without any add-ins. A bowl of granola
topped with sliced fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches...) and
topped with milk makes a great breakfast.
Olive oil granola. One of my favorite snacks is semi thawed
raspberries with Greek yogurt, granola and cocoa almonds.
Olive Oil Granola
In a bowl whisk together:
1/2 c olive oil
1/3 c brown sugar, packed
1/4 c real maple syrup
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
pinch cinnamon
Drizzle mixture over:
5 c rolled oats
1/4 c rice krispies
3/4 c roasted sunflower seeds
2/3 c chopped pecans
1/3 c shredded coconut
Stir to coat.
Line a large pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment.
Press mixture into pan. Pressing helps it form clusters.
Bake @ 325 35-40 minutes.
Let cool. Break into clusters.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
