Maple Granola Crunch Porridge Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roughly blitz hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cashew nuts, pine nuts and dates in a food processor (or bash with a rolling pin in a sandwich bag), and transfer to a bowl.
• Bring maple syrup, sugar and olive oil to boil in a small saucepan. Pour over the granola and stir well. Spread onto a large baking sheet and bake for 35-40 mins, turning regularly, until golden brown. Leave to cool in a large bowl before serving sprinkled over your oats. Keeps for 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Core, peel (or not) and slice apples.
• In a large bowl, stir together apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon.
• Put in a 9"x9" casserole dish and dot with 1/3 of the butter.
• Place granola in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to break it up.
• Place granola in a bowl and add the rest of the butter.
• Using a fork, push the butter into the crushed granola, working it through.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the apples.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake about 10 minutes longer or until the topping has browned.
• Let stand for approximately 10 minutes then serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
• Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and reserve.
• Combine brown sugar and water in a 4-cup microwave proof glass measuring cup or bowl. Place in microwave on high for 5 minutes and cook until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from microwave, add vanilla extract and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, and brown sugar syrup mixture. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Spread the granola onto cookie sheets and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and crunchy.
• When the mixture comes out of the oven, it is still very pliable. You may choose to add in dried fruit as a finishing touch at this time. When granola has cooled completely, store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 375*F. Line a baking sheet with wax paper(or parchment paper). Mix the nuts, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and 3 tbls. maple syrup in a medium bowl, and spread in a single layer on the prepared pan. Stirring every 5 minutes to evenly coat, bake until mixture is fragrant and toasted-about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Stir the cranberries and the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup into the oatmeal.
• To serve, pour 1/4 cup milk over each serving and top with the maple glazed nuts. Enjoy!
• Note:.
• If you like, make only the glazed nuts, and triple the batch and keep on hand to eat alone. Store in an airtight container.
