2010Cranberry Pecan Homemade Granola
Who’s up for a Saturday recipe? More specifically a breakfast recipe? I CERTAINLY AM. The best part about this recipe is that the seeds, pecans, and cranberries are all up for substitution! Just be sure to replace them with something similar. For example, you could swap out the sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds, the pecans for almonds, and the cranberries for raisins. Let me know if you guys come up with any other tasty creations, I’d love to try them!
The Goods
4 1/2 cups (18 ounces) old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shelled, raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup dried cranberries
2-3 tbsp cinnamon (depends on how much you like the stuff)
1 1/4 cups pure maple syrup
1/3 cup canola oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and then add in the syrup and oil, stirring until all dry ingredients are moistened. Spread granola on roughly 12×17 rimmed baking sheet and baked until brown (20-25 minutes), then stir with a flat spatula. Continue baking until it is light golden brown, dry, and fragrant, 10-15 minutes longer. Watch it carefully because during the end it can burn quickly!

Oh yum! I am always looking for recipes with natural sweeteners and ingredients. This looks lovely–I will have to make it.

Oh gosh, Tom had a raisin, cranberry currant mix for breakfast and I’m munching on a strawberry, banana, and almond mix RIGHT this second. I don’t know why I hadn’t tried home made granola before, it’s so good for you and so much better than breakfast cereals. I bet there’s a way to make your own granola bars too.
I forget, is there a bulk store where you live? We have a Bulk Barn and you can get enormous amounts of oats for really cheap, so I would look into bulk stores first.

Yours sounded (and looked) so good that I decided not to switch anything up. Yum!
