Green Tea Granola

By Sarra Sedghi | www.allrecipes.com

Ingredients

3 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats

1 ½ cups chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, or pistachios)

½ cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds) 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon green tea powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ cup agave syrup ½ cup neutral flavored oil (such as vegetable oil or safflower oil)

1 package toasted coconut chips (such as Dang or Bare)

Direction

Step 1 Preheat oven to 275°F.

Step 2 Stir together the oats, nuts, pepitas, spices, green tea powder, coconut chips, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a smaller, separate bowl, whisk the oil, vanilla extract, agave syrup, and brown sugar until evenly combined. Pour the agave mixture into the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly. Spread the mixture into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 3 Bake at 275°F, stirring (and spreading back into an even layer) every 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and toasted—about 1 hour, 15-20 minutes total. Allow granola to cool and crisp completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container.
