Dahlia Bakery Granola

For me, the texture of granola is as important as the flavour so this recipe fits the bill, producing a tasty combination of super crunchy toasted oats, nuts and seeds, and chewy coconut and dried fruit.

I had all of the ingredients on hand so made the recipe as is. The only change I made was to add the toasted hazelnuts towards the end of the baking time as I didn’t want them to burn.

I thought it a little too sweet but my daughters, the only other granola eaters in the house, disagreed - they thought it was delicious……maybe too delicious since the ½ batch I made to try out the recipe was gone in record time! I’m sure they won’t notice if I omit the maple syrup (which can’t be detected so is a waste of a good ingredient) and the granulated sugar next time ; )
