IF THERE IS ONE THING MY FAMILY AND I LOVE THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS, IT’S A BOWL OF GRANOLA.
CULINARY CREATIONS
SPICED GRANOLA RECIPE WARM SPICED GRANOLA Paired with icy cold yogurt, fruit and honey during the summer or over baked apples drizzled with maple syrup in the cold months, or even straight out of the jar as a healthy snack, it’s a must have.
INGREDIENTS + 4 C. of Rolled Oats
+ 1 C. Sour Cherries
+ 1 C. of unsweetened
+ 1/2 C. Avocado Oil
Toasted Coconut Strips
+ 1/2 C. Maple Syrup
+ 1/2 C. Honey Roasted
+ 2 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
Sliced Almonds (optional)
+ 2 Tsp. Pumpkin Spice
+ 1/2 C. Pumpkin Seeds
+ 1/2 Tsp. Salt
DIRECTIONS 01 Preheat oven to 250 degrees 02 Crumble coconut strips with a tight squeeze before adding. 03 Gently stir all ingredients together in a large bowl thoroughly. 04 Line a large baking sheet with parchment or slip pad. 05 Evenly spread granola across pan 06 Bake for 30-45 minutes, keeping an eye on when the granola looks lightly browned. 07 Remove from oven and let cool. 08 Store in a large glass jar TIP The trick to having large chunks of granola is to let it fully cool after removing it from the oven and then gently scraping a large wooden spoon through it. This will allow for big pieces to be kept as well as smaller crumbles along the way.
