Maple Honey Granola Food

MAPLE HONEY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat combine the oil, honey, maple syrup,and salt. Cook until it just begins to come to a boil, then quickly remove from the heat. Pour this mixture over the oat mixture and toss to combine well. Pour out the mixture evenly on two parchment paper or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes then using a wooden spoon, carefully toss and stir the granola. Use the spoon to spread granola out into and even layer and continue to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Add raisins and transfer granola to an airtight container.

HEALTHY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
• Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
• Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
• Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
• Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.

MAPLE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, combine the oil and syrup and heat, stirring, over low heat. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract.
• In a large bowl, toss together the wheat germ, sesame seeds, coconut, oats, pumpkin seeds, cashews, and almonds. Add the syrup mixture and stir to coat evenly. Spread the granola mixture out on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about an 1 hour and 30 minutes. Stir the mixture occasionally while baking so it toasts evenly.
• Transfer the warm toasted granola to a large bowl and stir in the dried fruits and let cool. Store in a tightly sealed container a room temperature for 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.

MAPLE-BAKED GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line two large roasting tins (or one and cook in batches) with baking parchment. Put the porridge mix and all the flakes, nuts and seeds in a bowl and mix them together.
• Put the maple syrup and oil in a big heavy-bottomed saucepan and gently heat. Add the grain mixture and stir until all the dry ingredients are coated - you are not cooking the mixture, just coating it. Spread the cereal over the parchment (it shouldn't lie in big clumps) and bake for about 20 mins.
• Remove the tins from the oven, turn the temperature up to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, then return to the oven, swapping the tins over. Cook for another 10 mins, but keep an eye on things. You want a golden toasted mixture - you may even start to smell some caramelisation - but don't take it too far.
• Take the tins out of the oven and leave to cool. Break the granola up into small chunks with your hands and add the dried fruit. Will keep well in an airtight container for two weeks. You can 'refresh' it by putting it all in the oven again (at 160C/140C/gas 3) for 15 mins. Eat with milk or yogurt and fresh fruit.

GOOD-FOR-YOU GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Mix the oil, maple syrup, honey and vanilla in a large bowl. Tip in all the remaining ingredients, except the dried fruit and coconut, and mix well.
• Tip the granola onto two baking sheets and spread evenly. Bake for 15 mins, then mix in the coconut and dried fruit, and bake for 10-15 mins more. Remove and scrape onto a flat tray to cool. Serve with cold milk or yogurt. The granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.

MAPLE PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix oats, pecans, walnuts, flax seed, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
• Stir canola oil, maple syrup, maple flavoring, and salt together in a small bowl; pour over the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly.
• Spread the resulting mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
• Set granola aside to cool completely before breaking into chunks. Store in an air-tight container.
