Bon Appetit published a recipe for Granola last month in their 50 Easy Ways To Eat Green article. I added orange zest to the recipe and am now a granola addict. This is so good, and easy to adapt to individual preferences. Yes, you will have to buy walnut oil, but it is worth it. This is also something that can become part of your food storage depending on what type of dried fruit you add. Consider yourself warned, once you start eating this you will find it difficult to stop.
4 TBS walnut oil, divided
3/4 c (packed) brown sugar
1/4 c egg whites (about 3)
1/2 tsp (scant) kosher salt
3 c organic old-fashioned oats
1 c walnut halves (I only used 1/3 c because that is all I had)
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 c flaxseed meal (grind your flaxseed in your handy dandy coffee grinder)
(I also added 1/3 c whole flaxseed)
1 c pitted dates, coarsely chopped (shame on you if you don't like dates)
1/4 c honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a heavy large rimmed baking sheet with 2 TBS oil. Whisk 2 TBS oil, sugar, egg whites, and salt in large bowl. Add oats, walnuts, flaxseed, and orange zest. Toss well and spread mixture evenly on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes and then stir. Bake 15 minutes longer and stir again. Sprinkle with dates and drizzle with honey. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir to loosen, transfer to a clean baking sheet to cool completely. Keep chilled in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
