We’re going to let you in on a little family secret of ours – our house granola recipe! A staff and regular favorite, we have made all our granola in-house for many years now, and want you to be able to enjoy a little piece of our home in yours!

Ingredients

• 21 oz quick oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 almond extract
• 1/4 cup dried apricots, diced
• 1/4 cup dried currants

Chef MacAlpine’s Method

• Preheat oven to 325*F
• Combine all of the ingredients except for the dried fruits in a large mixer
• Divide and spread evenly between two greased sheet pans
• Bake for one hour, stirring granola every 15 or 30 minutes. Less stirring leads to larger chunks.
• When cool, stir in dried fruits
• Sprinkle atop your favorite yogurt, or enjoy as-is!
