I enjoyed having the homemade granola for our yogurt so much last week that I decided to try a different flavor this week! I wasn't sure what flavor at all. Then I noticed candied orange peel in the bulk area at Central Market during my birthday grocery shopping trip. (Don't judge, I love shopping at CM.....birthday or no.)
Orange granola? Why not?! So, I picked up a couple things that I thought went with granola and trekked back to the produce department for an orange.
Once home, a google search for orange granola netted this Better Homes & Gardens's recipe. I did a few tweaks and swaps. First, I swapped brown rice syrup for honey. Then I added a teaspoon of ground ginger to the syrup juice mix. The coconut was nixed but sunflower seeds were added. Once out of the oven and cool, I mixed in about an eighth of a cup of chopped candied orange peel and candied ginger.
The result? A semi-spicy, not at all sweet, orange-scented delight! This one is far more savory and less sweet than the pumpkin spice granola. It's a win but in a totally different way than the last batch! Making granola is so easy. I simply cannot express that more adamently.
Yay for more easy granola recipes!!!
