One More Granola For the Collection... Mango Macadamia Granola Delight!

This one is for a little dose of springtime!

Mango Macadamia Granola Delight!

Ingredients:

4 cups Oats, rolled, thick cut, steel cut, or triticale, or combo, anything but quick cook!!!

2 cups raw Macadamia Nuts
½ cup REAL maple syrup (Don't chicken out on me!)
¼ cup Agave/Honey
¼ cup oil

2 cups Mango, dried and chopped
2 pinches of salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread out oats on a cookie sheet in a thin layer and bake for 15 minutes, this step is crucial in getting that classic granola crunch!
While the oats are a-toastin' combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine the wet ones, whisking to combine if necessary.

Add the roasted oats to your dry bowl then douse with the syrup mixture! Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. I suggest mulling your mixture for a solid 5 minutes, because those dry oats like to hide in little pockets!

Now grease that hot little baking sheet! Okay, it should be just luke-warm now... And spread an even layer of wet granola over it. Stick in that preheated oven for 25 minutes. It will still look wet when you pull it back out, just trust me, it'll harden as it dries!

Note: Greasing is IMPORTANT! Or else all of your granola will stick to your tray...and then it becomes a granola-chiseling disaster!

Bon apetit!
