Trail Mix Granola Snack

This is a bit of a short cut in ingredients if you buy the pre made stuff but the extras that you add to it make it a really fantastic snack. I was wondering how the raisins would come out after baking in the oven for 30 minutes and they were just fine! Here's how I made it...

Granola Snack

ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1/2 cup PURE maple syrup (yeah it's pricey but it' so worth it)
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg white
• 1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 cups store bought trail mix (the one I picked up had almonds, granola, raisins, oats & honey)
• 2 cups old fashioned oats

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325º and spray a large foil lined baking sheet with the cooking spray.

2. In a bowl whisk the syrup, sugar, egg, cinnamon and salt together, then stir in the oats and trail mix.

3. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula and bake for 10 more minutes. Let cook and store in a Ziploc, jar or Tupperware container at room temperature.

This will make 6 cups of granola.

It's easy and fast to make - I will definitely make this again especially for cabin/camping/hiking trips. I would steer away from buying any trail mix that has chocolate in it as that will melt away and make a mess when you bake them mix.

Enjoy!
