Recipe information

  • Yield

    12 Servings

Ingredients

1/3 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries, chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pine nuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, sesame seeds, and fennel seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until lightly golden, 5–7 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk honey, peanut butter, oil, orange zest and juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Toss nuts and seeds, oats, and salt in a large bowl. Pour honey mixture over and gently mix until oat mixture is completely coated.

    Step 3

    Spread out on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through (edges will take on color before center does), until golden brown, 20–25 minutes. Let cool; granola will crisp as it cools. Break up into pieces, then stir in apricots and cranberries.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 4

    Granola can be made 1 week ahead. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
