This granola is great for those who love nuts! It is packed with four different kinds of nuts and seeds and is oh so delicious!
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup dry instant milk
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup whole cashews
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1 tbs cinnamon
1 tbs vanilla
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/8 cup peanut butter
Here’s How
- Toast rolled oats for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Combine instant milk, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, cashews, and coconut in a medium sized bowl.
- Boil vegetable oil, honey, sweetened condense milk, peanut butter, vanilla, and cinnamon in a sauce pan for two minutes until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients over nut mixture and add oats once toasted. Mix well.
- Bake granola on a cookie sheet for 1/2 hour at 250 degrees. Turn oven down to 200 degrees and cook for another 2 hours. Allow granola to cool and harden before storing.
Tips
If you’re on a budget like me, I would recommend buying all of the nuts needed for this recipe in the bulk foods section of the grocery store. Nuts are super expensive {especially pecans which cost $15 per pound!} and contain lots of oils that will spoil, so buying just what you need will save you money and the possibility of biting into a rancid almond three months from now {yuck}.
