Almond Cranberry Maple Granola

Granola

I thought I’d posted my trusty granola recipe before, but when I went back to look for it yesterday it was nowhere to be found! Luckily, I just whipped up a fresh batch of granola, and it came out deliciously!

I used almonds and dried cranberries, but pretty much any combination of nuts and fruit would work well. Cashew and apricot! Pumpkin seeds and dried cherries! Mixing up flavors is easy and fun.

Almond Cranberry Maple Granola
2c rolled oats
1/2c sliced almonds (or nuts or seeds of your choice)
1/4c maple syrup
1/4c olive oil (or vegetable oil)

1/4c dried cranberries (or your favorite dried fruit)

Preheat the oven to 250F.

Combine the first 4 ingredients right there on your baking tray, stirring carefully to get everything coated in the maple syrup and oil.

Bake for an hour to an hour and a half, stirring every 15 minutes. The granola is done when it’s looking toasty and brown. Transfer to your storage container, toss in the dried fruit, and store somewhere cool and dry.

This is excellent with a splash of almond milk, and it makes a great ice cream topping, too!
