UMBC Eats Community Cookbook Recipe of the Week

Topside Granola

Dry Ingredients:
9 cups old fashioned
oats
1 cup shredded
coconut
1 cup sunflower kernels
3 cup chopped nuts
(pecans, almonds, &
walnuts)

Wet Ingredients:
1½ cups canola oil
(or ½ cup applesauce
and ¾ cup canola oil to
reduce fat)
1½ cups honey
½ cup molasses
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Toppings: 
1 cup dried
cranberries
1 cup raisins
½ cup dried cherries

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a microwavable container mix wet ingredients. Cook in
microwave on high until hot but not boiling (5-7 minutes), and
stir. Pour over dry mixture and stir well, coating all of the dry with
wet ingredients. Pour mix into 2 large sheet pans (sprayed lightly
with oil) and spread evenly. Place pans into preheated oven for
15 min. Remove pans from oven and stir well. Repeat 3 more
times for a total of 4 baking sessions. The last two sessions may
need to be shorter to avoid burning. It should be dark & golden
brown. Cool on the pan, stirring periodically to avoid big lumps.
Stir in toppings. Can be stored in airtight container in the
refrigerator or frozen.
