Honey Maple Granola With Pumpkin Seeds
A sweet, simple granola.
Servings: 9 cups
Ingredients
- 7 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds, or nuts of choice (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 1/2 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup agave nectar (or substitute an additional 1/4 cup maple syrup)
- generous pinch Kosher salt
- 2 cups dried fruit(s) of choice, such as golden raisins, dried cranberries, apples, or dates
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 265°F, and line two half-sheet pans with parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, light brown sugar, agave, and honey. Add the oats, seeds (or nuts), and salt, and mix until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be moist and lightly sticky, with no liquid pooling in the bottom.
- Pour the oat mixture onto the sheet pans and spread in evenly.
- Bake for around two hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until it becomes a nice toasted brown color. Let cool on the sheet pans.
- Add the dried fruit. Stir well, and store at room temperature in an airtight container.
