Cook Time

Ingredients
  • 4 cups Old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Egg whites beaten
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons oil I used olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped nuts I used sliced almonds
  • 1 cup chopped dry fruits apricots, plums, cranberries
Blackberry Compote (Makes about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water or juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit/160 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper or silicon mat.
  2. Place rolled oats in a bowl, sprinkle salt and toss the oats.
  3. Bring honey + oil + brown sugar to a boil. Once it froths, let it simmer for few more minutes.
  4. Add the honey mixture to the rolled oats, mix well to coat all the oats. Add the egg whites, mix again. Toss in the nuts.
  5. Spread on the baking sheet, press down and place in the center rack of the oven.
  6. After 10 minutes take the baking sheet out and stir the oats (they tend to darken more towards the edges). Put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes till crisp and golden brown. (Keep a close eye during the last 10 minutes because it doesn't take long for oats to turn from done to burnt)
  7. Once done, add dry fruits, mix well, let the mixture cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Blackberry Compote:
  1. Add blackberries + sugar + water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes or until it slightly thickens.
  2. Layer compote between greek yogurt and add granola. You can store the extra compote in an airtight glass jar.
Recipe Notes

1. There is a slight margin between done and burnt. Oven temperatures may vary so keep a close eye.

2. To toast the nuts, spread nuts on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes between 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit or between 160-175 degrees Celsius.

3. Store in an airtight glass jar for up to two weeks.

4. Honey can be substituted for maple syrup.
