Oat And Nut Granola With Sunflower Seeds The Lodge At Red River Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack at the bottom of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk the maple syrup and oil together in a large bowl. Add the almonds, pecans, coconut, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed and salt, and toss to coat.
• Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove it from the oven, and scrape and toss the mixture around. Continue to bake until golden and still slightly sticky, 10 to 12 minutes more. Or, for a deeper, toasted version, bake until deeply golden (you may start to smell the toasted nuts), 13 to 15 minutes more. Let cool. (The granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine old-fashioned oats, flour, golden brown sugar, almonds, walnuts, milk powder, sunflower seeds and salt in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Whisk vegetable oil, 1/2 cup water, honey, vanilla extract and maple extract in medium bowl to blend. Add to dry ingredients in pan and stir to coat well. Bake until granola is golden and crunchy, stirring frequently, about 45 minutes. Cool completely. (Granola can be prepared up to 2 weeks ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut and brown sugar.
• In a liquid measuring cup, combine the maple syrup, oil, water and salt; stir with a fork until incorporated. Pour into the oat mixture and stir until coated.
• Divide the mixture among 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until the granola is golden brown all over, 45 to 55 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely on wire racks. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
