Breadmaker Granola Recipes

GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, oil, and salt. Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
• Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add raisins and mix until evenly distributed.

GRANOLA BREAD--BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Select basic/white cycle, use Medium or light crust color.
• Remove baked bread from and cool on rack.

BREADMAKER GRANOLA

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except the dried fruit in the breadmaker. Set to jam cycle and run. This will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. If you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up.
• Add dried fruit after the cycle is finished.
• Tips:.
• Use a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate instead of applesauce for an orangy flavor. This is would taste good with Craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
• If you like crispy, lumpy granola then add 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda and a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate.
• If you want to use this as more of a trail mix than a yogurt topping it might be better to omit the ground flax.
• I use a pair of scissors to cut up the apricots, but I'm sure a knife and chopping board would work just as well.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F.
• In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the the flaked or rolled oats and sprouted rye, oil, sweetener, and salt. Honey can be briefly microwaved to make it more mixable.
• Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, a silicone mat, or lightly sprayed with oil. The layer should be about 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the nuts, flaxmeal, and coconut on top of the half-baked granola.
• Return the sheet to the oven and bake 10 minutes more until everything is lightly toasted.
• Remove from the oven and don't stir the granola unless you prefer a loose granola. Add the dried fruit on top if desired.
• Let the granola cool for at least 30 minutes before breaking it into chunks to store in a jar, tupperware, or bag.

BUTTERMILK GRANOLA BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour, the salt and yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water, buttermilk, honey and butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into flour mixture until blended. Stir in granola. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
• Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Shape dough into round loaf, about 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until about 7 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Make 2 long cuts in top of dough to resemble one large "+" sign with sharp knife. Brush or spray top of dough with water. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.
