Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
1 1/2 cup raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup pepitas)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (if you're using standard table salt, scale back to 3/4 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)
Totally optional additional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

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.

Provided by Brittany Mullins

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds ((pepitas))
1/2 cup raw pecans
1 cup raw walnuts
1 cup unsweetened coconut (desiccated, shredded or flakes)
1 cup hemp hearts (or hemp seeds)
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup pitted and chopped Medjool dates

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Place almonds, pumpkin seeds, pecans and walnuts into a food processor and pulse a few times to chop the nuts and seeds into smaller pieces. Don't process too much because you still want some chunky pieces.
  • Transfer the nut mixture into a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients except the dates and stir well. Spread an even layer of the mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet. You may need two sheets if you're baking sheets aren't oversized like mine.
  • Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven, add dates and give the mix a good stir. Bake for 25-30 minutes more or until granola is golden brown in color. Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy. It will get crunchier as it cools. I recommend storing any leftovers in a Mason/Weck jar in the fridge. It will stay extra crunchy this way.

HEALTHY HOMEMADE GRANOLA WITH HEMP HEARTS



Healthy Homemade Granola with Hemp Hearts image

This hemp granola is packed with healthy oats, hemp hearts, nuts, seeds, and loads of crunchy good-for-you granola goodness! If you haven't add the powerhouse nutrient of hemp seeds to your diet yet, this is a great place to start!

Provided by Jessica Stroup

Categories     Breakfast     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup hemp hearts
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup pepitas
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp sea salt ((flakey sea salt if available))
1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pro Tip: Wet parchment paper then wring out water. Doing this will prevent parchment paper from rolling up on the baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl combine oats, hemp hearts, pecans, pepitas, and sunflower seeds.
  • Pour coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon over granola mixture and stir to coat oat mixture.
  • Transfer the hemp granola to the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer. Use a spatula to press granola evenly into the pan and sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The granola is ready when golden-brown and the pecans have toasted - it will still feel slightly wet coming out of the oven but will dry as it cools.
  • Let the granola cool undisturbed before storing it in an airtight container. Dried fruit, chocolate chips, or unsweetened coconut can be added if desired after granola has cooled.
