Fall
Thanks to Lauren Shuler’s suggestion, I substituted honey for maple syrup this time around. Woah! Here’s the blow-by-blow:
PrintMaple Granola (And the real recipe)
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups quick rolled oats
- 2 cups regular rolled oats
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1/3 cup sesame seeds
- 1/3 cup flax seeds
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 2/3 cup maple syrup, B grade
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix liquid ingredients in a separate bowl. Add liquids to dry ingredients and stir with a fork until dry ingredients are wet.
- Spread evenly on a cookie sheet (non-stick, or on foil) and press down firmly with the back of a spatula (this will create some nice chunky granola).
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip granola. Bake for 10 more minutes, 30 minutes in total. Granola should be golden brown when finished. Let cool on a separate cookie sheet or try – this will help it crisp up. Store in an airtight mason jar, Ziplock, or tupperware.
Notes
Allergens: wheat
