Apple Cinnamon Granola w/Sourdough Discard
Crunchy, flavorful, and easy to make, this homemade Apple Cinnamon Granola recipe is like eating apple pie, only more nutritious.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients (Minus Dried Fruit)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ teaspoons Ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- ½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ⅓ cup starter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dried Fruit (Add After Baking)
- 1 cup chopped dried apples apple chips
- ½ cup dried fruits I used golden raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Brush a baking sheet with a neutral oil (canola, veggie, avocado)
- In a large bowl, stir the oats, coconut, almonds, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sourdough discard, the maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until everything is moistened.
- Spread mixture out onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, making sure to stir the granola every 10–15 minutes to prevent burning.
- Allow granola to cool for 20 minutes on the baking sheets. Granola gets crunchier as it cools. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the dried golden raisins and crushed apple chips.
- Cool completely. Then, cover tightly and store at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks. Granola loses its crunch over time, and the dried apple chips in this one will slowly lose their crunch once exposed to humidity in the air.
