| Using an egg white adds crunch without calories. Ingredients: | |
| 1 large | egg white |
| 3 cups | old-fashioned oats |
| 3/4 cup | almonds, chopped (or any type of nuts-pecans or walnuts) |
| 3/4 cup | pistachios, chopped |
| 1 1/2 cup | flaked coconut |
| 1/2 cup | honey, (or agave or maple syrup) |
| 1/4 cup | olive oil |
| 1/4 cup | sesame seeds |
| 2 Tbsp | light brown sugar, packed |
| 1 1/2 tsp | kosher salt |
| 1/2 tsp | ground cinnamon |
| 1 cup | mixed dried fruit, dried cranberries, cherries, apricots, apples) |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300°. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; toss to combine. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake granola, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and dry, 40-45 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet (it will crisp as it cools).
Mix in 1 cup dried cherries or cranberries. DO AHEAD: Granola can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
INGREDIENT INFO
Coconut shavings (chips) are strips of unsweetened coconut and are available at many natural foods stores and some supermarkets.
CUSTOMIZE IT
The oats, oil, sugar, salt, and egg white are the back-bone, but there's still plenty of room for negotiation:
SWEETENER
Swap maple syrup or honey for the agave to get a subtle flavor shift.
BONUS
If chocolate chips mean your kid will love it, throw ‘em in at the end.
PRESENTATION
This granola's great out of hand, but for added protein, serve over low-fat yogurt. Or layer it in a glass with yogurt and fresh fruit.
