Granola with Cranberries, Almonds & Coconut


So this is a new take on the trail mix granola I made last month and added a few more ingredients to it since we really liked the flavors in it last time. It turned out great and hard to not eat all of it straight out of the oven! It's super easy and quick to make...

Granola

ingredients
• cooking spray
• 1/2 cup PURE maple syrup (get the real thing!)
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg white
• 1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 cups trail mix (no chocolate)
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup craisins
• 1/2 cup roasted almonds
• 1/4 cup sweetened coconut

directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325ยบ 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, trail mix, craisins, almonds & coconut.

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.

A great idea is to top some yogurt with this mixture and it makes a great breakfast, snack or dessert! Yum.

Enjoy!
