CRANBERRY MAPLE WALNUT GRANOLA
I made this for holiday gifts and to have on hand for a healthier holiday snack, it is a nice way to lighten up granola using egg whites. I found the recipe in a recent 11/07 Bon Appetit Magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see the kids eating it by the handful:)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300. Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, maple syrup/honey, and vanilla. Pour the oil mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to combine and coat evenly. Spread the oat mixture over two large baking sheets in an even layer. Bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is lightly browned and slightly crisp (it will crisp up further as ti cools). Turn off the oven and let cool for about 1 hour in the pan, until completely cooled, then pour the granola into a container, cover and store in the pantry, where it will keep for up to 2 months.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your granola.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: This will prevent the granola from cooking evenly.
- Stir the granola frequently while baking: This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it: This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Store the granola in an airtight container: This will help to keep it fresh and crispy.
Conclusion:
Maple walnut granola is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and nutty flavor, this granola is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give maple walnut granola a try!
