Breakfast Recipe: Sarah's Excellent Granola
Delicious Nutritious Granola, An Ideal Healthy Breakfast Recipe
Granola is an ideal healthy breakfast (or dinner) when you're in a hurry or tired, but need something substantial. Children will happily eat Sarah's granola recipe, but you have to hide it from them or it'll be gone in a day!
Delicious Nutritious Granola is easy to carry with you, to gobble up between early morning classes or on your break, with a little yogurt or fresh fruit.
I didn't use to be a granola fan. I couldn't see the appeal in clumps of half cooked rolled oats with hard raisins and stale nuts. Then Sarah started making her granola recipe, and my world view changed. - Judith Kingsbury, Savvy Vegetarian
Makes approximately 8 cups of granola
Printable Recipe: Click the printer icon on your browser - you'll get just the recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of rolled oats (not quick oats)
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped medium coarse
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mild flavored oil
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 T vanilla
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
Directions:
- Pre heat oven to 375
- Mix all ingredients except dried fruit in a large bowl
- Place uncooked granola in a very large cake pan or 2 smaller ones
- Stir thoroughly every 5 minutes - extremely important!
- Bake until oats are dry and golden in color
- Remove from oven and stir in dried fruit
- Stir occasionally to allow the steam to escape
- Allow to cool completely
- Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place
Granola Variations:
- Substitute other whole grain flakes like barley, wheat, etc. in place of part of the oats
- Substitute other nuts for almonds or walnuts - e.g. cashews or hazelnuts
- Substitute other dried fruits for the raisins and dates - e.g. dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, or dried blueberries
- Add pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds
Helpful Granola Hints:
- Granola is a serious food. Lots of nutrition and lots of calories, so a little goes a long way
- Serve with soy yogurt and fresh fruit on top
- Serve with cold or warm non-dairy beverage
