Protein packed, mixing salty and sweet . . .
This pistachio, peanut and pepita granola is a recent favorite at our place. It pairs perfectly with vanilla Greek yogurt, bet it snack time or brunch.
4 c. old-fashioned oats
1/2 c. pistachios
1/2 c. salted peanuts
1/2 c. raw pepitas
4 tbs. canola oil
4 tbs. honey
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon extract
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1/4 c. goji berries
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees, and grease a lipped sheet tray with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine oats, pistachios, peanuts, pepitas, canola oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract and cinnamon extract. Still until everything is coated well. Pour the mixture onto sheet tray and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until granola is golden brown. Stir the mixture every 15 minutes to keep from burning.
Remove granola from the oven, and let it cool completely before serving. Store granola for up to 2 weeks in an airtight contianer.
