I tried this recipe for maple nut granola this weekend and it turned out great! It's good plain or mixed with yogurt. Even better, it's healthy and was easy to make! And as an added bonus, the house smells heavenly while it's baking!
Ingredients
4 cups rolled oats
2 cups crispy brown rice cereal (like Rice Krispies, but the brown rice version)
1 cup sunflower seeds
1-1/2 cups shredded dried, unsweetened coconut
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup pecans, cashews or walnuts
1 cup raisins
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup maple syrup (I used real maple syrup, not the flavored imitation stuff)
1 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
In large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients. In separate bowl, whisk together oil, syrup, and almond extract. Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and stir to coat. Transfer granola to 9" x 13" glass pan, spread evenly, and push raisins down into granola so they are not on the surface.
Place on top rack of oven and bake for 60 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and cool completely to set. When cool, slide spatula along bottom of pan to release granola. Break into chunks and store in airtight container.
