Addictive and Healthy Granola

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon rose water (optional)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup puffed rice cereal
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup chopped cashews
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup dried blueberries
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray or line with non-stick aluminum foil.

Whisk maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, rose water, and salt together in a bowl.

Mix oats, rice cereal, coconut, cashews, raisins, dried blueberries, pecans, almonds, dried cranberries, and brown sugar together in a separate bowl. Pour maple syrup mixture over oat mixture and stir until evenly coated. Spread oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; stir and continue baking until slightly crisp and lightly browned, 15 to 25 more minutes. Cool on baking sheets before serving, about 1 hour. Store in air-tight containers.
