I have made and bought GRANOLA before, but this one recipe
is very different. It is better tasting, !
You can eat it as a snack for a boost of energy, eat it for breakfast
over yogurt, or layer it in a glass with your favorite fruits for an easy dessert
Children love it as much as adults, it is a great way to start any day!.
CAPTAIN CRUNCH GRANOLA
Preheat oven to 300*
In a large bowl combine; 1 large beaten egg white [adds the crunch]
3 cups old-fashioned oats [not quick oats]
1 + 1/2 cups chopped nuts [ such as almonds, pistachios, or walnuts]
1 + 1/2 cups coconut shavings [ available at natural food stores
and some supermarkets]
1/2 cup maple syrup [ or honey or agave syrup ]
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 Tablespoons light brown sugar [ packed ]
1 + 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Toss together to combine. Spread out on a rimmed cookie sheet.
Bake 40 - 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes till golden brown.
Let cool on baking sheet [ it will crisp as it cools ]
Mix into granola, as it cools, 1 cup of dried cranberries.
Make this your own by adding 1 cup of chocolate chips, or raisins
at this time also, even more, or a variation of , nuts, and seeds .
This GRANOLA will keep for 2 weeks in an air-tight container
at room temperature.
GRANOLA can be put in baggies for an easy-grab snack.
