Description

There’s nothing quite like making your own granola. You can toss in as many nuts and fruits as you want and sweeten it to your taste. While the possibilities are endless, we love this honey-sweetened variation with sesame seeds. The cardamom clings to the almonds, dried apricots and pears, and oats, adding an exotic touch.

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned oats (9 ounces)
1 cup sliced almonds with skin (1/4 pound)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons mild honey
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried pears, finely chopped
Accompaniments: Greek-style yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Oil a 4-sided sheet pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Stir together oats, almonds, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Heat oil, honey, cardamom, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over low heat (or in a microwave) until heated through. Stir into oat mixture.
  3. Spread evenly in sheet pan and bake, stirring once, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Cool granola completely in pan (it will crisp as it cools), then stir in fruit.
