Ultimate Fruit and Nut Granola Recipe - A Delicious Homemade Blend
  • Prep Time

    1 hrs 0 mins

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of rolled oats
  • 1 cup of whole almonds
  • 1 tablespoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of rich cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon of sea salt
  • ⅓ cup of sweet packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups of assorted dried fruits (like tangy cranberries, juicy pomegranate, plump cherries, or succulent blueberries)
  • 1 cup of pure, amber maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of fragrant vanilla extract
  • ½ cup of decadent dark chocolate chips

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius and get ready to embark on a delicious granola-making journey. Prepare a generously greased large baking sheet to welcome your culinary creation.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, pour in the oats and gather your delightful ingredients - almonds, cinnamon, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, brown sugar, and a medley of dried fruits. One by one, introduce each ingredient to the oats, gently stirring them together to form a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

Step 3

Next, in a small bowl, combine the sweet maple syrup with a dash of fragrant vanilla extract. Using a trusty rubber spatula, introduce this luscious mixture to your dry ingredients, ensuring a thorough coating of all the oats and accompanying elements. Stir and fold with care until every ingredient is beautifully united.

Step 4

Pop your granola mixture into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 20 minutes. After this initial baking stint, give it a gentle stir and allow it to continue baking until it achieves a lovely golden hue, which should take about 25 more minutes. Once done, set it aside to cool for around 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle and mingle.

Step 5

Now comes the fun part - gently fold in some decadent chocolate chips into your granola mix. As the chocolate begins to melt slightly, it will coat the granola with a deliciously rich layer. Let your granola cool completely before storing it, ensuring that every bite bursts with a delightful combination of flavors.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Begin by gathering a variety of airtight containers in different sizes to store your granola mix. Mason jars, glass jars, and Tupperware containers work well for keeping your granola fresh.
  2. 2. Once your granola is mixed and ready to store, consider using a decorative tin or a vintage cookie jar to add a touch of style to your pantry or kitchen shelves.
