Lower Fat Cinnamon Granola Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add egg; beat well. Stir in flax and honey. In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, cinnamon and baking soda; stir into creamed mixture just until blended. Gently stir in raisins., Press into an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 14-18 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 F.
• Combine oats through salt in a large bowl, mixing well. Melt butter and stir into honey in a small bowl. Pour honey/butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until evenly moistened. (You need a big sturdy wooden spoon or your hands.).
• Pour the granola onto two large baking sheets lined w/parchment paper and bake until cereal is evenly toasted, about 30-40 min total. Halfway through, give granola a good stir and return to oven until sufficiently golden brown.
• Once granola has cooled, stir in dried fruit. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine oatmeal,almonds, sunflower seeds, wheat germ and cinnamon.
• In a saucepan, combine brown sugar and honey. Bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat and add lemon and orange rind and juice.
• Toss liquid mixture with dry mixture.
• Spray large pan, spread with granola and bake at 300 degrees F for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes until golden brown.
• Cool.
• Add dried fruit.
• Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix walnuts, pecans, coconut, and almonds together in a bowl.
• Stir cinnamon, erythritol, and sucralose into melted butter; pour over nut mixture and stir to coat. Spread granola in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crunchy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven; stir and allow to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300°F.
• In large bowl combine dry ingredients. Slowly stir in the vanilla, honey and applesauce until combined.
• Spread the mixture evenly on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Add in the cranberries, pressing them into the granola. (If you want the cranberries to cook and be a little firm, which the husband and I do, stir them in after 20 minutes. If you're like my brother, leave the cranberries out and add once the granola has cooked completely so they'll stay moist.) Continue cooking for a total of 30 minutes to an hour - stirring every 15 minutes - or until golden brown. If you stir less often, you'll have more clumps in your granola.
• Cool completely and store in an airtight container or divide into individual portions. I divided my batch into 2-ounce servings, 8 servings in all.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Combine the oats and cinnamon and add them to the pot. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, stirring constantly, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the oats out onto a large baking sheet and add the butter to the pot. When the butter has melted, stir in the honey, molasses and brown sugar. When the mixture starts to simmer, return the oats to the pot and continue to cook and stir until coated and hot.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the almonds and cherries. Pour onto a large cookie sheet and allow to cool. The granola will harden as it cools. When cool, transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature.
