Rocket Fuel Granola by Christine Provo Recipe adapted from Disgustingly Good Ingredients
Instructions 1 - Preheat oven to 350°F. When heated, place coconut on a large baking sheet at toast just until pieces turn golden brown, about 5 minutes or so. Watch carefully and toss for even cooking. It is not necessary for each flake to be golden. Remove from baking sheet and set aside. 2 - Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss together the oats, pepita seeds (or other nut), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour in condensed milk and molasses, stirring until oats and nuts are evenly coated. Turn out onto prepared baking sheet in an even layer. 3 - Bake granola for 15 minutes. Toss with a spatula to break up clumps and to promote even baking. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until granola is evenly golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a large, clean bowl. Granola may still feel soft, but will harden as it cools. 4 - Toss granola with dried fruit and coconut until evenly combined. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container or large resealable plastic bag. 5 - Enjoy! |
