Homemade granola makes an excellent topping for fruits and smoothies. Add about 2 tbsp (30 mL) as a topping to Smooth & Simple Strawberry Dessert (see recipe section), Sautéed Maple Apple Slices (see recipe section), or Slow Good Blueberry Spread (see recipe section). Crunchy Nova Scotia Honey Granola is also used as an ingredient in Maple Granola Bartlett Pears (see recipe section).

Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup flax flour or flax meal
1/2 cup skim-milk powder
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup honey, liquid
1 tbsp almond extract
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups cranberries, dried

Method

Preheat oven to 325°F
2 – 11” x 17” sheet pans

1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat bran, and flax flour.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the skim-milk powder, oil, honey, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture over the oats and stir until well combined.

3. Divide the mixture between the 2 sheet pans (greased) and spread in an even layer.

4. Bake for 20 minutes; stir. Continue baking for another 20 minutes, until the oats are slightly golden brown. The oats may feel soft but will crisp as they cool.

5. Cool completely. Stir in the dried cranberries.

6. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container; it should keep for 3 weeks.
