How to make homemade cranberry nut granola w/ maple syrup

This is the ingredients... You can add more nuts or raisins at the end with the cranberries ... I always double this recipe because it goes fast!

Gather your supplies

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

Spray baking sheet very well with oil - I used two big pans because I doubled the recipe

Measure and pour real maple syrup in heavy sauce pan

Now unsweetened Cranberry juice

Add brown sugar

Add cinnamon & nutmeg

Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until sugar is melted

Should be smooth like this doesn't need to boil

In a large bowl on the side combine "0ld fashion oats" not quick oats

And add all the nuts and sea salt to oats -I buy already roasted nuts but if you like you can buy unroasted and roast yourself in 350f oven for 8 to 10 mins before adding

Mix all together

Now pour the maple mixture over the oat mixture and stir until all that deliciousness is combined

Pour into well oiled pan & spread out

All spread out

Place in oven for 15 mins

I stir halfway through

After 15mins add cranberries - I buy the naturally sweetened cranberries -place back in oven for 5 to 10 mins until it's just turning brown be careful not to over cook or its comes out very crunchy

After cooking let cool thoughly

You can store in canning jars and wrap up for gifts - says it last up to 30 days but I have frozen a batch and it comes out just fine!

You can wrap up in tissue paper with a bow - pretty and simple! Enjoy! I love this in my Greek yogurt & oatmeal
