Description
Maple & Olive Oil Granola is an antioxidant fueled breakfast that goes great over Greek Yogurt or eaten plain as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 3/4 cups Old Fashioned Oats (Use 3 3/4 cups for more granola clusters, use 4 cups for “crumbly” granola)
- 1/4 cup Flaxseed
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Cardamom (Optional)
- 1 1/2 cups Raw Nuts (I used Pecans and Sliced Almonds)
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 cup Dried Cranberries (Or your favorite dried fruit)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- To a large mixing bowl add the oats, nuts, cinnamon, cardamom (if using), and salt. Stir together with a spatula and set aside.
- In a liquid measuring cup add the olive oil and maple syrup. Mix together and then add the vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the oats mixture and stir together thoroughly with a spatula.
-
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a large sheet tray and bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
-
After 25 minutes remove the granola from the oven and add the dried cranberries. Mix together and then allow the granola to cool before serving.
-
Tip: If you want your granola to have large clusters (which I do!) after you add the dried cranberries, press the granola down with the back of a spatula, then allow to cool fully.
