Skillet Toasted Coconut Almond Cardamom Granola

Ingredients

  • 2 cups160 gOld-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup whole40 gAlmondsroughly chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped30 gWalnutsroughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup35 gSweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp30 gAlmond butter, no salt addedstirred well
  • 2 tbsp40 gHoney
  • 2¼ tsp10 gCanola oil
  • 1 tsp4 gVanilla extract
  • ½ tsp1 gGround cardamom
  • ½ tsp1 gGround cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp1 gSalt
  • ⅓ cup50 gRaisinsused as the dried berries

Steps

  1. Chop the almonds and walnuts, and line a baking sheet with parchment for cooling.
  2. Toast the shredded coconut in a large dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Tip the coconut into a small bowl and set it aside.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the almond butter, honey, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon and salt to make a smooth glaze.
  4. Add the canola oil to the same skillet over medium heat, then add the oats, almonds and walnuts. Toast, stirring often, for 7 to 9 minutes until the oats smell nutty and turn light golden.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low, drizzle the almond butter glaze over the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. Keep stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until the granola looks dry and deep golden; watch closely, as honey scorches quickly.
  6. Spread the granola in a thin layer on the lined baking sheet and let it cool completely, about 20 minutes; it crisps as it cools.
  7. Break up any large pieces to keep it loose, then toss in the toasted coconut and the raisins. Store in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.
