Healthy Start: Maple-Nut Granola
We have yet to grow tired of this recipe since we first tried it in 2010. It's so quick, easy and delicious. We double the recipe every time!
This granola has less oil than most, plus healthy fat from nuts. Serve it with low-fat yogurt and fruit or our daily favorite, vanilla flavored almond milk.
Everyday Food, January/February 2010
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a large bowl, toss together
3 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
5 teaspoons vegetable oil (we used extra virgin olive oil)
5 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Spread oat mixture on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let cool completely. (To store, cover and keep at room temperature, up to 2 weeks) Makes 4 cups
