Crunchy Granola Clusters
Ingredients:
1/4 brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 cups oats
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup raisins (or cranberries or tart cherries)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg white
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300F.
Heat the coconut oil, brown sugar and honey over low heat until melted together.
In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, except the egg white.
Stir the warm sugar mixture into the oat mixture and mix well. Stir in the egg white and ensure every thing is well mixed.
Bake in a 9 x 13” baking dish and pack everything in quite firmly for 40 minutes. You want the clusters to stick together so press them in firmly.
Try to resist digging into the granola when it comes out of the oven. Let it cool for at least 1 hour.
Enjoy!!
