Triple Play Walnut Crunch Granola
Three ways to serve this granola, or just eat it straight up with milk or yogurt!
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats, uncooked
- 1-1/2 cups walnut pieces, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp. honey
- 1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded or chip coconut, optional
- 1/2 cup golden or natural raisins
Instructions
- HEAT oven to 350°F. Spread oats and walnuts on a baking sheet that has a low rim, or use a roasting pan. Bake 8-10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes, until the walnuts and oats smell toasted and start to brown
- WHILE oats and walnuts are toasting, combine brown sugar, oil, honey and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir well.
- POUR hot oats and walnuts from the pan into the sugar mixture. Add coconut, if using. Stir all the ingredients together until evenly coated with the sugar mixture. Oats will look dry.
- LINE the baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil so it extends over the ends of the pan. If using foil, spray with cooking spray.
- SPREAD oat-walnut mixture on the baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Bake additional 5-10 minutes until toasted and golden brown. Remove from oven and stir in raisins. Cool completely on pan. Lift edges of parchment or foil and pour into an airtight container or plastic bag to store.
