Ingredients
- 6 cup / 1.5 l
- large flake oats
- 1/2 cup / 125 ml
- pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup / 125 ml
- sunflower seeds
- 2 tsp / 10 ml
- ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp / 5 ml
- fine sea salt
- 2/3 cup / 150 ml
- maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup / 125 ml
- canola or another neutral-flavoured oil
- 2 tsp / 10 ml
- vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup / 150 ml
- Naturegg Simply Egg Whites, well shaken
- 2 cup / 500 ml
- assorted dried fruit such as raisins, dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots or dried apples
Directions
- Preheat oven to 275°F (140°C). 
- Stir oats with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Whisk maple syrup with oil and vanilla; pour over oat mixture and stir until well coated. 
- Whisk egg white in a clean medium-sized bowl until very foamy. Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat. 
- Spread granola in a thin layer on large baking sheet(s) lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 1 hour or until lightly browned and dry. 
- Cool granola for 15 minutes on sheets; break up into bite-sized chunks. (If granola feels a bit tacky after breaking it up, return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes to dry it out.) 
- Cool granola completely before combining with fruit. 
Tips
- Granola mixture will keep for 3 weeks at room temperature in an airtight container. Or, transfer to freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months. 
- Egg whites can be whisked by hand and should be very light, foamy and almost doubled in size; however, you do not need to achieve soft or stiff peaks.
