I've tinkered with a couple of granola recipes lately and then created my own from a recipe courtesy of Alton Brown and another from Epicurious. Its really yummy!
3 c. old fashioned oats
1 c. chopped pecans
3 T brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1 c dried fruit (I cut up dried apricots)
1/2 c. slivered almonds
3/4 c. golden raisins
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1/4 ground flax seed
1/4 c. honey
2 T vegetable oil
1/4 c. maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients thoroughly and then mix the last four ingredients (honey, oil, syrup, and vanilla). Spread granola on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, about 30-35 minutes. While baking, stir every 10 minutes. Watch the granola carefully at the end as it will get dark quickly. Sprinkle on oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream and enjoy!
