honey-apricot granola
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1½ cups raw almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a half-sheet pan with parchment.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, salt, and ground ginger. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  3. Stir in the oil, honey and vanilla. Stir in dried apricots.
  4. Turn the granola out onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway. The granola should be turning lightly golden (keep an eye on it as honey tends to brown). The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Notes
To make the granola cups:
Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray. Press the granola in the wells, pushing up the sides to create a bowl shape. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Fill granola cups with yogurt and top with dried apricots and/or more granola!
