Crispy Crunchy Granola Munchies
Recipe
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
Instructions
Make sure the oven rack is in the center position and preheat the
oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the honey and butter in a small saucepan. Heat on low heat
and stir until melted. Remove from the heat.
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.
Pour the honey butter over the oat mixture and stir until well
combined.
Spread the granola evenly in a thin layer on a baking sheet.
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.)
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.
Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for
up to 1 week.
Yield: 6 servings
Emeril says: "An airtight container is important -- this will keep
your Crispy-Crunchy Granola Munchies fresh! Be very careful when
stirring the hot nut mixture! " --Emeril Lagasse
