Whole Lotta Nuts Granola
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001

Ingredients
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup hulled green pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds or pine nuts
1/2 cup crushed pecans or walnuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins, or chopped dates
1/2 cup dried cranberries or blueberries, or combination

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl stir together oats, almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower
seeds, pecans, cinnamon and salt. In a small saucepan melt butter with honey over
low heat, stirring. Add vanilla and pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir
until combined well.

On a large baking sheet, spread the granola evenly in a thin layer. Bake, stirring
every 5 minutes to keep from sticking or burning, until golden brown and crisp,
about 20 minutes. (Do not overcook; the granola will crisp more when cooled.) Cool

the granola on the pan on top of the stove and stir in dried fruits. Granola may
be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Serve at room temperature in a bowl with milk, or as a snack.
