Breadmaker Granola
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups oats
- 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds (shelled)
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled) ⓘ
- 1 cup nuts (slivered almonds, walnuts, filberts etc) ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin butter (or natural peanut butter) ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon sea salt ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ⓘ
- 1/2 cup ground flax seeds (or bran or wheat germ) ⓘ
- 1/4 cup honey ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ⓘ
- 2 cups dried fruit (I use rasins and chopped apricots) ⓘ
Instructions
- Put all ingredients except the dried fruit in the breadmaker. Set to jam cycle and run. This will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. If you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up.
- Add dried fruit after the cycle is finished.
- Tips:.
- Use a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate instead of applesauce for an orangy flavor. This is would taste good with Craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
- If you like crispy, lumpy granola then add 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda and a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate.
- If you want to use this as more of a trail mix than a yogurt topping it might be better to omit the ground flax.
- I use a pair of scissors to cut up the apricots, but I'm sure a knife and chopping board would work just as well.
