Savory Nut And Seed Granola Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Spread almonds and walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the preheating oven until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer almonds and walnuts to a very large bowl. Add oats, apricots, cranberries, honey, olive oil, apricot preserves, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, oat bran, black sesame seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Mix well with your hands.
• Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread granola mixture evenly across.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Stir the mixture; bake for 15 minutes more. Stir once again, then press the mixture down firmly. Return to the oven for 15 minutes more.
• Let granola cool and dry for at least 2 hours. Crumble and transfer to an airtight container.

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking pans with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, curry powder, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine. In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut chips, almonds, pecans, pepitas, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds. Toss to combine. Add the wet ingredients and stir to coat completely. Divide between the prepared baking pans.
• Bake, flipping carefully only after 40 minutes to maintain large pieces, until golden and crispy, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Maldon salt, if using. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment to prevent the granola from sticking. Put all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the almond extract, vegetable oil and maple syrup in a jug, then pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
• Mix together well, making sure that all the dry ingredients are well coated and that there are no dry bits. Tip the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Cook for about 25-30 mins until golden. You will need to give the mixture a few turns every 8-10 mins to make sure it dries out evenly and doesn't clump together too much. Keep an eye on it as nuts can burn easily.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray. Break up any large clumps of granola with a wooden spoon. Will keep for up to one month in an airtight container. Serve with milk or yogurt, and fresh seasonal fruit, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well to make sure that the oats, nuts and seeds are well coated. Spread out on a large baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins, shaking halfway to ensure they don't stick.
• Allow to cool completely, then store in a jar. Try serving with a herby dip and crudités - see goes well with.
