Dried White Mulberry Granola - Armenian style
Crunchy, chewy treat for breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried white mulberries
- 1 cup dried fruit (Note: The following dried fruits may be used – currants, raisins, dates, apricots, cherries, cranberries, blueberries. Be sure to cut larger dried fruit into smaller pieces.)
- 1 cup nuts, coarsely chopped (Note: Select nuts of your choice: pecans, unsalted pistachios, almonds, walnuts)
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup vegetable oil (Note: 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) melted, unsalted butter may be substituted.)
- 4-6 Tbsp. good quality honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8”x8” baking pan. (Note: If you choose to add more dried fruit and/or nuts to the recipe, an 8"x12" or 9”x13” baking pan might be better suited for baking.)
- Combine the dried white mulberries, nuts, oats, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the vegetable oil (or melted butter, if using) and honey; stir until well-combined. Evenly spread the oat mixture into the prepared pan, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top turns lightly golden brown.
- Place pan on a wire rack allowing the recipe to cool completely. Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before attempting to cut into squares.
- To serve, place squares in cupcake liners. Any crumbled mixture can be served in a bowl.
- Serve with plain yogurt, vanilla ice cream, or on its own!
