Crispy-Crunchy Granola Munchies
from
Emeril's There's a Chef in My Soup
This not only makes a terrific snack but also doubles as an awesome
breakfast cereal. Keep in mind that if you use salted nuts, you'll need
to decrease the amount of salt used from a half teaspoon to a quarter
teaspoon. And hey, substitute whatever nuts and dried fruits you like
best. These Crispy-Crunchy Granola Munchies will keep up to
1 week at room temperature if stored in an airtight container-but I bet
yours won't last that long!
Yield
6 generous cups
Ingredients
1/3 cup honey
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup mixed nuts, including slivered almonds and coarsely chopped pecans
and walnuts
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup hulled green pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins or golden raisins (or a combination of both)
1/4 cup dried cranberries or blueberries
1/4 cup dried banana chips
Tools
Measuring cups and spoons, cutting board, knife, small saucepan, large
bowl, large wooden spoon, baking sheet, oven mitts or pot holders, fork,
wire rack, large mixing bowl, airtight container
Directions
1. Make sure the oven rack is in the center position and preheat the
oven to 325ºF.
2. Combine the honey and butter in a small saucepan. Heat on low heat
and stir until melted. Remove from the heat.
3. Combine the oats, mixed nuts, coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower
seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Stir with a large wooden spoon to mix
well.
4. Pour the honey butter over the oat mixture and stir until well
combined.
5. Spread the granola evenly in a thin layer on a baking sheet.
6. Bake, stirring every 5 minutes with a wooden spoon to prevent the
granola from sticking or burning, until fragrant and golden brown, about
20 minutes. (Do not overcook-the granola will crisp as it cools.)
7. Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the baking sheet from the
oven and place on a wire rack to cool. When completely cooled, transfer
the granola to a large mixing bowl and stir in the dried fruit.
8. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for
up to 1 week.
An airtight container is important-this will keep your Crispy-Crunchy
Granola Munchies fresh!
Be very careful when stirring the hot nut mixture!
