One-Bowl Maple Coconut Granola
If you need a terrific, all-purpose, and very tasty everyday granola recipe, look no further. This is an easy one to make, with wholesome ingredients, and requires little more than a single bowl and spoon. Scatter it over yogurt, combine with berries and milk, or enjoy as a simple, crunchy snack.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)
- 1 cup roughly chopped raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews)
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin (pepitas) or sunflower seeds
- 3/4 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal is the brand I use)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup dried fruit, such as raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, or chopped dried apricots
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, and salt until thoroughly combined.
-
Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the maple syrup and olive oil. Stir very thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
-
Dump the granola onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the granola so it covers the entire baking sheet. It's important to spread it out so it cooks evenly and gets crunchy.
-
Bake until a deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and scatter the dried fruit over the top. Let the granola cool completely.
-
Stir the dried fruit into the granola and store in a large jar or other airtight container. It will keep at room temperature for a few weeks.
