This weekend, in between exploring Portland and hiking in Forest Park, my visiting friend Dasha shared her favorite breakfast recipe. . . Honey-Nut Granola made with dried fruits and olive oil. I love granola because it reminds me of my semi-hippie childhood, and as of this weekend this tasty recipe has become one of my new staples. It is now easy to find gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats at many markets, so that was where we started our recipe. I chose raw pecans as the nut to mix with unsulfured dried apricots and dried cranberries. This is a yummy mixture but you can choose your favorite fruits and nuts for your custom batch. The flax, sesame and sunflower seeds add another dose of healthy. I topped my granola with coconut milk, yogurt and sliced strawberries. After our mid-day hike I snacked on a handful of the crunchy goodness. Thanks Dasha for reminding me of the delights of homemade granola! ~ Lia

Hey Lisa,
Tried the recipe. The granola turned out delicious. I had just one issue with my batch. It turned out very sticky. Where do you think I went wrong? Or was it the wrong honey . Please help.
Thank you

  Isn’t it yummy? It sounds like it could be the honey– you could try less, or agave nectar that’s less sticky 🙂

I love your recipe and have made this several times. Can I replace rolled oats with Quick Oats?

  I’m so glad to hear it! I haven’t tried quick oats but think they could work.

What is the best way to store the granola?

Reply
1. Lia October 30, 2014 at 9:20am
  
  @Anna
  
  In an air-tight container. It taste the best when fresh, I go through a batch every two weeks:)

Sounds yummy. I’ve been trying to stay away from “sucrose” so wondering if it would still work substituting dextrose for the brown sugar and rice malt syrup for the honey?

  @Alison
  
  I think you can. I try to use more natural sugars as well.

I seriously dislike most of what we call breakfast food (except for potatoes).
Maybe this would change my mind.
I’ll make some very soon.
