  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will give your granola a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, to your granola for a warm and inviting flavor. Or, you can add dried fruits, such as raisins, cranberries, and blueberries, for a sweet and tart flavor.
  • Make sure your granola is evenly coated with oil and honey. This will help it to crisp up in the oven and prevent it from becoming too dry.
  • Bake your granola at a low temperature. This will help to prevent it from burning and will allow it to cook evenly throughout.
  • Store your granola in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Almond granola with dried fruit is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up any leftover nuts and seeds. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious almond granola at home.
