Coconut Almond Cluster Granola Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss pecans, almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, oats, salt, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until coconut is golden and mixture is fragrant, 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
• Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, whisking until mixture is thick and opaque. Add nut mixture and fold to coat evenly.
• Drop 1/4-cupfuls of mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing evenly (if your baking sheets are small, you might have to use 2). Bake cookies, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until edges are golden, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be baked 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Bring sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, without stirring, until a thermometer registers 235 degrees, about 3 minutes.
• Add almonds; cook, stirring, until sugar begins to crystallize, about 1 minute. Stir in salt. Continue to cook, stirring, until a sandlike coating forms on nuts, about 1 minute more. Stir in coconut. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; let cool 30 minutes.
• Transfer nut mixture to a bowl. Add chocolate, stirring to coat. Return to sheet; separate into clusters with a fork. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days. Before serving, toss with cocoa powder, tapping off excess.
