Granola Munch
Ingredients:
– 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
– 1 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
– 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
– 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup of dried fruit (such as cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and sunflower seeds. Mix well to combine.
3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the honey, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture in the large bowl. Stir well to ensure the oats and nuts are evenly coated with the sweet mixture.
5. Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. It will crisp up as it cools.
8. Once the granola is cool, stir in the dried fruit of your choice. Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
9. Enjoy your Granola Munch as a snack on its own, sprinkle it over yogurt or ice cream, or use it as a topping for oatmeal or smoothie bowls. Store the granola in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
10. Feel free to customize your Granola Munch by adding ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even a touch of dark chocolate chips for an extra indulgent treat. The beauty of this recipe is that you can tailor it to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
