There are countless variations to granola. This one had besan flour and craisins instead of raisins!
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups oat groats, coarsely ground
1/2 cup besan
1 Tablespoon dry coconut flakes
a handful of pecans, chopped
a handful of almonds, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
a few Tablespoons of ghee
a handful of craisins or raisins
PREPARATION:
Combine the oat groats, besan, coconut, nuts and cinnamon in a bowl.
In a saucepan combine the sugars and water and boil until the sugar dissolves. Cool.
Add maple syrup and ghee to the sugar water.
Stir the sugar water into oat combination and stir thoroughly
Bake mixture spread on a couple baking pans. Deep cast iron pans also work well.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minute intervals, stirring in between to make sure the granola evenly browns and does not burn. Can take about 30 minutes tops.
Stir in the craisins when granola comes out of the oven.
