FRUIT AND NUT GRANOLA (CHRISSIE'S GRANOLA)
Originally given to me at work as a 'Hey! I made this, try it, it's vegan (I'm not vegan), you'll love it!' and I did; I really did love it. I've made it several times now and a modified version for my husband (omitted the chocolate and used deluxe mixed nuts). I have to stash some or get none in my house.

ROSE'S LIGHT NUT AND DRIED FRUIT GRANOLA
From Rose Reisman. "If you prefer to have dried fruit that is baked, add it to the granola mixture before it goes into the oven. It makes the fruit much chewier. If you want the granola crisper, leave it in the oven with the heat off for another two hours. Feel free to substitute any dried fruit of your choice."

FRUIT AND NUT GRANOLA
My only mistake in making this recipe was introducing it to my husband. For the last year it has become his favorite way to start out the day. When I get close to running out, it is brought to my attention quickly. I use my own dried strawberries and other fruits that do not have added sugar. If you don't want too much, you can...

- 6. Spread this mixture evenly on prepared baking sheet and use a stiff spatula (sprayed with pam) until the oat mixture is very compressed.
- 7. Bake until lightly browned 40-45 minutes. Rotate the pan once, halfway through baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- 8. Meantime, while granola is cooling, cut up your dried fruit. I like to use the ones that I dry without added sugar, but you can use any from the store too. Sometimes I supplement with cranberries, chopped prunes, or commercial blueberries if mine are not available.
- 9. Break the granola into pieces of desired size and stir in dried fruit.
- 10. Store in airtight container.
Tips for Making the Best Fruit and Nut Granola:
- Use a variety of oats. Quick-cooking oats will give your granola a softer texture, while old-fashioned oats will give it a chewier texture. You can also use a combination of the two.
- Choose your nuts and seeds wisely. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. You can also add dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or cherries.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular choices, but you can also try cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
- Be careful not to overcook the granola. It should be golden brown and toasted, but not burnt.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to keep its crispy texture.
Conclusion:
Fruit and nut granola is a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack that can easily be made at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a granola that is perfectly tailored to your own taste. So experiment and have fun!
