Dr. Travis Stork's Maple Walnut Granola
The Doctors' Dr. Travis Stork cuts down on sugar in this easy granola recipe from his book, The Doctor's Diet Cookbook.
- 8 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
- 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts, pecans, peanuts, cashews or a combination
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup melted virgin coconut or other oil
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 300F.
Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Pour the oil mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to combine and coat evenly.
Turn off oven and let cool for about one hour in the pan, until completely cooled, then pour the granola into a container, cover and store in the pantry, where it will keep for up to two months.
