Salted Caramel Granola Recipe

Laura Villanueva
I can't stop making this delicious vegan, healthy caramel granola recipe. You will simply love topping your yogurt bowls with my homemade granola recipe, a salted caramel granola that is vegan and healthy too, because it's lower in sugar than most granola recipes.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine the dates, milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until smooth, pausing to scrape the sides as necessary. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, walnuts, buckwheat groats, cashews, almonds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax meal, and cinnamon. Add the date mixture and stir until combined.
  • Spread the granola over the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the granola and spread out again.
  • Bake an additional 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the granola, because oven temperatures tend to vary, and the granola can burn quickly.

Laura's Recipe Tips

A tip to know when it's ready is that the granola will be a golden-brown color. The caramel mixture can make the granola appear wet, but trust me it will dry up once out of the oven. Let cool completely before crumbling and transferring to an airtight container.
Reduced Sugar Tip: This granola is equally delicious, made with lower sugar. You can use 4 dates, instead of 5 dates. I also tried this recipe with only 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and loved it the same.
However, if your taste buds are used to sweeter granola, this might not work for you. I prefer it with the reduced amount of dates and less maple syrup. But, do what works for you.
Storage Tips: The granola will keep at room temperature for about two weeks.
