Pineapple Papaya And Sunflower Seed Granola Recipes

ULTIMATE IRRESISTIBLE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I guarantee it won't be around that long!

PINEAPPLE-PAPAYA SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together first 6 ingredients. Place remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours. Stir before serving.

PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA, AND SUNFLOWER SEED GRANOLA

Steps:

• Following the instructions for Basic Healthy Granola, add the sunflower seeds to the dry ingredients. For the wet ingredients, use only half of the called-for apple juice (1/8 cup), and add the orange juice and orange zest to wet ingredients. After the first 15 minutes of baking, add the dried pineapple and papaya.

GINGER CASHEW SUNFLOWER SEED GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir honey, coconut oil, and maple syrup together in a saucepan over low heat until completely melted and combined, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Combine cereal, oats, sunflower kernels, cashews, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Pour honey mixture over cereal mixture and stir until completely coated. Pour cereal mixture in a layer on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes.

SUNFLOWER GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325*F. Lightly grease a 8" square baking pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, pistachios, raisins, and coconut in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, peanut butter, butter, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is desolved and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the apple juice, vanilla, and baking soda, and remove from heat.
• Pour into the oats mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top and top with another pan or a book that will fit inside the baking pan to weigh it down. Use your hands to press down on the weight firmly and evenly so that the mixture spreads evenly in the pan. Remove the weight and the plastic wrap and bake for 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until firm. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
