Sparkle Kitchen: Martin's Favorite Granola

In the At Home with Martin & Sylvia story “Playdate," Momma dishes out some homemade granola and yogurt. Did you know that it is Martin’s favorite granola?

It is. And it’s delicious.

It’s a simple recipe, based on the “Nut & Seed Granola” recipe in Cynthia Lair’s Feeding the Whole Family.

But Martin’s favorite has cranberries and almonds. And our version is gluten-free. Here’s what you need and how to make it.


Martin's Favorite Granola

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats (gluten-free)

½ cup sunflower seeds

½ cup almonds, chopped

⅔ cup dried cranberries

1 cup gluten free baking mix (we used Bob’s Red Mill)

½ tsp cinnamon

⅛ tsp sea salt

⅓ cup cold-pressed vegetable oil

⅓ cup maple syrup

¼ cup almond milk

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, cranberries, flour, salt and cinnamon. In a second bowl, combine oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing to combine. Line a large baking sheet or shallow baking dish with parchment paper and spread the mixture in a thin layer. Bake at 300° for 45 minutes to an hour, turning every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
