Ingredients

Tip:

The amount here is a bit unwieldy to flip and turn as required on the baking sheet. If you want, cut all amounts by half, but keep an eye on cooking time near the end – it only takes a few seconds to go from nicely toasted to over-toasted.

  • Rolled Oats, 4 cups
  • Unsweetened Shredded Coconut, 2 cups
  • Pumpkin Seeds, 1 cup
  • Sunflower Seeds, 1/2 cup
  • Pine Nuts, 1/2 cup
  • Sesame Seeds, 1/4 cup
  • Roasted Almonds, coarsely chopped or sliced, 1 cup
  • Pecans, coarsely chopped, 1/2 cup
  • Dried Black Currants, 1/2 cup (soak to moisten in warm water)
  • Sultana Raisins, 1 cup
  • Canola Oil, 1/2 cup
  • Honey, 1/4 cup (I use a nice fresh Ontario Honey)
  • Canadian Maple Syrup, 1/4 cup (a good quality, medium grade)

Cooking Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl (I use my roast pan).
  • Whisk together the oil, honey and maple syrup.
  • Dribble the oil, honey and maple syrup over the dry ingredients and mix through to thorougly coat and moisten everything.
  • Spread the granola mixture out on a greased cookie baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, turning the mixture over after 20 minutes.
  • Add the raisins and drained black currants at about the 35 minute mark, and mix and flip over again.

This recipe for Granola with Canadian Maple Syrup will fill a 1kg coffee tin. Allow the granola to cool completely, line the tin with a plastic bag and pour the granola in, close the bag and cover; it’s good for a couple of months, if it lasts that long in your house.
