Small sauce pan

Baking sheet

Parchment paper

Large mixing bowl

Danish hook (to mix)

Measuring spoons

Measuring cups

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil

• 1/2 cup sourdough discard

• 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 4 cups of old fashioned (or rolled) oats

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 2 cups of raw pecans (or substitute another nut or seed)

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 1 cup dried fruit (to be added after baked and cooled)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.

In a small saucepan, slightly melt the coconut oil.

Then add in the sourdough discard, honey, vanilla extract and mix together in saucepan. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, mix together oats, nuts, salt, and cinnamon.

Give your wet ingredients another good mix, and pour over the dry ingredients.

Mix all ingredients well together, making sure that all dry ingredients get covered in the sourdough discard, coconut oil and honey mixture.

Place the granola mixture onto the baking pan, evenly distributing everything.

Press the granola mixture down firmly, to create more clumpiness.

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden. Stir the granola about halfway during bake time.

NOTE: Keep in mind that granola will harden more as it cools down.

Allow the granola to cool down for at least 30 minutes, and then add in your favorite dried fruits, such as craisins or raisins. Stir the dried fruits evenly into the granola.

Be sure to add the dried fruits after baking, not before. Baking the dried fruit may cause it to become hardened.

How to Store

To store this sourdough discard granola, allow it to cool down fully, and place into a glass jar.

Close tightly with a lid, and store in a cool, dark area (such as a pantry) for up to a week.
