EASY GRANOLA RECIPE WITH PECANS AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, almonds, coconut, flaxseed, wheat germ, ground cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine.
• In a 2 cup microwave-safe measuring cup (or small bowl), mix oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds on 50% power. Stir to combine. If using coconut oil, continue to heat in 30 second increments until coconut oil is completely melted. Pour over dry ingredients and stir until everything is coated. Spread into an even layer on prepared baking sheet.
• Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If you like big chunks, press down with spatula and let cool completely on pan. If you prefer not to have large chunks, stir 3-4 times as granola cools. Stir in cranberries once cooled.

CRANBERRY, PECAN & GOLDEN RAISIN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees, I use a large turkey roaster for this recipe, you will need to have plenty of room to mix well.
• In a large GLASS mixing bowl pour in orange juice then the orange peel, stir & set aside.
• Put in the first 9 ingredients into the lg. roaster, I use my hands to mix, you want to separate all the fruit & rubbing with the flour keeps them from sticking back together, but more importantly it will allow the wet ingredients to fully coat all the fruit & nuts.
• Returning to the lg. glass bowl, add the remaining ingredients. Using a wire whisk beat until emulsified. They will start to take on a cloudy appearance. Pour over the dry ingredients in the roaster. using a large metal spoon stir together very well, I will usually spend at least 5 minutes or more on this, it does make a difference.
• Using glass (5-6 pcs)or metal baking pans with sides (4-5 pcs) pour mix into required pans to keep mix less than an inch in the height of the pans. Bake in center position for a hour, mixing bottom to top every 15 minute. Remove from oven & stir once more, leave in pans to cool. Do not over bake, it will continue to crisp as it cools.
• Will keep in air tight containers for 2 weeks or in freezer for 4 weeks.

COCONUT PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Place pecans and walnuts in a ziploc bag and crush with a mallet or rolling pin.
• In a large mixing bowl mix together oatmeal, coconut flakes, crushed pecans and walnuts, and raisins.
• In a smaller bowl stir together coconut oil, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Pour the honey mixture over the oatmeal mixture and stir until coated well.
• Spread granola onto a large sheet pan and place in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 30 mins stirring every 10 so the granola doesn't burn.
• Cool on sheet pan then store in an airtight contain for up to one month.
• Note: When you remove the granola from the oven it will be brown but not crisp. It will crisp up as it cools. I stir every 15 mins while cooling because it starts sticking together.
