Cranberry Walnut Granola
This Cranberry Walnut Granola combines crunchy walnuts, sweet cranberries, and delightful coconut flakes, making it an excellent choice for breakfast or a tasty snack.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- ¾ cup roughly chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- ½ cup blanched almond flour finely ground
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
- ⅓ cup chopped dried cranberries
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ¾ cup assorted nuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with foil for easier cleanup.
- In a sizable bowl, combine all ingredients except for the maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
- Fold in the maple syrup using a rubber spatula, ensuring it's well mixed and clusters start to form.
- Distribute the mixture onto the baking sheet, keeping clusters together and creating open areas for air circulation to enhance crispness.
- Bake in the oven for about 18 to 20 minutes. Use a heatproof spatula to carefully flip the granola, ensuring that the clusters remain intact. Continue baking for another 4 to 6 minutes, until golden brown and slightly soft.
- Once finished baking, take the sheet out and place it on a cooling rack. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes, before enjoying your homemade granola.
