Breadmaker Granola

12 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups oats
  • 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds (shelled)
  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled)
  • 1 cup nuts (slivered almonds, walnuts, filberts etc)
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin butter (or natural peanut butter)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds (or bran or wheat germ)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups dried fruit (I use rasins and chopped apricots)

Directions

  1. 1
    Put all ingredients except the dried fruit in the breadmaker. Set to jam cycle and run. This will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. If you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up.
  2. 2
    Add dried fruit after the cycle is finished.
  3. 3
    Tips:.
  4. 4
    Use a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate instead of applesauce for an orangy flavor. This is would taste good with Craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
  5. 5
    If you like crispy, lumpy granola then add 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda and a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate.
  6. 6
    If you want to use this as more of a trail mix than a yogurt topping it might be better to omit the ground flax.
  7. 7
    I use a pair of scissors to cut up the apricots, but I'm sure a knife and chopping board would work just as well.
