Big Cluster Granola Recipes

BASIC LARGE CHUNK GRANOLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a (11x17 inch) baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the oil, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and oil is well incorporated.
• Add the oats and your chosen granola flavors. Stir well.
• Pour the oat mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer. Firmly pack the oat mixture into the baking sheet.
• Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the pan half way through cooking.
• Let the granola cool at room temperature for one hour.
• Use a small spoon to scoop up the granola off of the baking sheet. Use the spoon and your hands to break the granola into large chunks.
• Store at room temperature in a sealed container or zip top bag.

BIG-CLUSTER CHOCOLATY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, use a fork to stir together the maple syrup, oil, cocoa powder and salt until smooth. Add the oats, nuts and seeds, and stir until combined.
• Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake, without stirring, until fragrant and dry to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Sprinkle the dried fruit over the granola (if using), then turn off the oven. Leave the granola in the oven to cool completely, 30 minutes to an hour, then break into clumps. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

BIG CLUSTER MAPLE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Combine all ingredients but the egg whites in a large bowl, tossing to coat evenly.
• Whisk egg white in a small bowl until frothy. Stir into granola mixture, distributing it throughout.
• Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until browned and dry to the touch.
• Halfway through baking, use a large spatula to turn over sections of the granola. Rotate the pan if granola bakes unevenly.
• Once finished baking, cool completely and then break into desired sized clusters.
• Enjoy!
