Almond Granola

Click to Print This Page (top banner and side navigation will not print)

Makes about 6 cups
15 minutes preparation time
1 hour baking time

2/3 cup honey
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raw, unsalted, whole almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

In a small pot, mix together the honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, water and almond extract.  Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and set the mixture aside.

In a large bowl, mix the oats, almonds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.  Pour the honey and maple syrup mixture into the bowl and mix thoroughly so that the oats and nuts are completely coated.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.  Pour the granola onto the sheets and spread it out evenly into a single layer.  Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour,  watching to make sure that the almonds do not get too dark.  About half way through, remove each tray and gently push the granola around the tray to break up any clumps.

Remove the granola from the oven and let it come to room temperature on the baking sheets, then add the raisins. The granola will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.
