Coconut and Macadamia Granola
Serves 6 to 8
Old-fashioned rolled oats combine with coconut, macadamia nuts and maple syrup in this crunchy, sweet homemade granola. Perfect served with your choice of milk — soy, cow, rice or almond.
Ingredients
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, finely shredded
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
6 tablespoons canola oil or high oleic sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon natural coconut extract
3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Method
Preheat oven to 300°F and oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Combine oats, flour, coconut and salt together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, oil, vanilla and coconut extract to combine completely. Add to oat mixture, stirring well to coat. Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes.
Add macadamia nuts, turning and stirring the granola to mix them in. Continue to bake an additional 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow the granola to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place or in the refrigerator.
