Equipment

  • 2 medium to large baking sheets

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 2 tbsp candied ginger, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, brown sugar and salt. Stir gently to combine.
  • Melt coconut oil in small saucepan over low heat. Add 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the melted oil . Remove from heat, pour over oat mixture and stir gently with spatula to coat well.
  • Line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper (if your baking sheet is small or medium, you may need to use 2). Spread half the oat mixture out as flat as possible. If you are using 2 trays, rotate shelves halfway through baking (the granola won't crisp properly if you have too much on one tray). Bake 25-30 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaked coconut, bake 5 more minutes. NOTE: I do not recommend using your convection setting for granola. I have torched too many batches in very little time.
  • Remove from oven and immediately add the candied ginger to the tray. Allow granola to cool completely. Let granola cool completely before storing in airtight containers. Granola stays fresh on the counter for a month, maybe slightly more if you have good airtight storage.

Notes

This recipe makes about 3 cups of granola.  I estimate about 1/2 cup per serving size.
