I love granola, but don't like the amount of fat and sugar, not to mention preservatives and additives, in most store-bought granola. So, I've been looking for a good granola recipe, and I've found one that I really like that calls for no added oil. This granola doesn't have "clusters" like many granolas do, but I think it's quite tasty, especially when topped with a little almond milk.
Dry ingredients:
8 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut (I used raisins instead)
1 cup raw sliced almonds (I used raw slivered almonds)
3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 tsp salt
Wet ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla
- Mix the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Put the wet ingredients in blender and blend until creamy.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Spread evenly on a non-stick baking sheet (I used 2 large cookie sheets)
- Bake at 250-275 degrees from 1 to 2 hours, until golden and crunchy, stirring every 20 minutes.
I baked mine for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, and then it started to get brown fast and I took it out. The only thing I will do differently next time is to not add the raisins until the second half of the cooking time as they seemed to get a little dry and chewy being in the oven for so long.
