Written by Lindsay Evans   

apricot almond granolaHere is one of my favorite recipes for a quick on-the-go snack - delicious homemade Apricot Almond Granola.  I often bring a bag to work to help me through the day or enjoy a yogurt and granola parfait to tide me over until dinner.  This granola also makes a fun gift for a friend.

Apricot Almond Granola

2 3/4 cups regular rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped or slivered almonds

1/2 cup chopped cashews

1/2 cup shredded un-sweetened coconut

1/2 cup chopped dried apricots

1/2 cup honey

1/3 cup butter

 

 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

 2. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet or jelly-roll pan with oil or cooking spray.

 3.  Combine oats, almonds, cashews, coconut, and dried apricots in a large bowl. 

 4. Combine butter and honey in a small saucepan and warm on medium-low heat until butter is melted.  Stir to combine butter and honey. 

 5. Pour honey mixture over the oats mixture and mix thoroughly. 

 6. Pour mixture onto baking sheet and press mixture into edges and corners to fill the sheet evenly. 

 7. Bake granola for 12 minutes.

 8. Remove from oven and gently stir, spreading mixture evenly on the sheet when done. 

 9. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until edges and top are lightly golden brown. 

10. Let granola cool completely on the baking sheet.

11. Use a spatula to break up cooled granola and transfer to an airtight container or plastic storage bag.
