Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup pistachios (roasted, shelled)
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons flax seeds
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup orange blossom (or citrus-y honey)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (or canola oil)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pitted dates (finely chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the oats, pistachios, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, coconut and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, oil, and brown sugar and heat over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until mixture comes to a rolling boil and the sugar is dissolved. Pour the honey mixture over the oats and stir until thoroughly combined. Add the dates and mix well.
  • Divide the granola between the two sheet pans and spread it out into a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, stir the granola and arrange in a single layer again.
  • Bake for a second 10 minutes and stir. Spread the granola into a single layer and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Add the dates to the granola and toss to combine. Let cool to room temperature until dry and crisp. Store in an airtight container.
