Home Made Granola

For weeks I have been aiming at making granola at home. Most store bought brands contain  high fructose corn syrup. The prep work was very simple but the baking time was over an hour. The whole house smelled divine and warm. The aroma of freshly baked granola was so comforting and the granola tasted crunchy and delicious. Here is my version of granola adapted from Alton Brown. I think its worth making them at home and its fun to mix ingredients that we love.


Gadgets:

Baking Sheets 2
Bowls
Whisk
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Parchment Paper


Ingredients:

Rolled Oats - 3 cups
Walnuts - 1 cup
Cashew nut/ Pistachios/ Pecans - Mixed 1 cup
Raisins - 1 cup
Sweetened Coconut - 1 cup
Sunflower Seeds - 1 cup
Brown Sugar - 1/3 cup
Maple Syrup - 1/3 cup
Vegetable Oil - 1/3 cup
Kosher Salt - 3/4 tsp


Preparation:

1. Set the oven to 250 degrees F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix together all the dry ingredients except salt in a large bowl.

3. Mix the wet ingredients and salt together. Combine the dry and wet. Transfer to the baking sheets and bake for 1 hr and 15 minutes. Make sure to mix every 15 minutes to get the desired color.

4. Cool and store in airtight container.
