Outrageous Granola Recipes

MEGAN'S GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment or aluminum foil.
• Combine the oats, wheat germ, oat bran, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, and walnuts in a large bowl. Stir together the salt, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, oil, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then pour over the dry ingredients, and stir to coat. Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and toasted, about 20 minutes. Stir once halfway through. Cool, then stir in the raisins or cranberries before storing in an airtight container.

JOOLS' GORGEOUS GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160ºC/325ºF/gas 3.
• Roughly chop the nuts and apricots, then place into a large bowl. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix together.
• Drizzle over the maple syrup and finely grate over the orange zest, then stir well to coat everything.
• Spread out over a large baking tray in an even layer - split it between two, if it's easier.
• Pop into the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until turning golden, stirring every 10 minutes or so to stop it from catching. Bear in mind that the granola will harden up and go crunchy as it cools, so don't be tempted to cook it for too long.
• Leave to cool completely, then tip into airtight storage jars and use as and when you need it - it will keep quite happily for up to 4 weeks.

THE BEST GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the oats, almonds, coconut chips and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
• Combine the brown sugar, syrup and oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Pour the sugar mixture over the oats and stir until well combined, then spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally (see Cook's Note) until toasted and golden brown, 60 to 70 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

EASY HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Move the center rack up a level so it's on the second level from the top.
• Mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until combined. In a small, separate bowl, stir the melted butter, honey, vanilla and egg white together, then drizzle over the oat mixture, stirring together until well-combined.
• Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out in an even layer. If you want large chunks of granola, flatten into an even layer with a spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through for even toasting, until golden and crispy and the almonds look lightly toasted.
• Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature.
