The Famous Pistachio Granola

I made some granola recently that has been quite the hit.

I keep promising to share the recipe so here it is!

I got it from a mom of a patient I took care of. It's amazingly delicious. I saw her the other day and told her how popular the recipe has been and she said..."it's your recipe now...spread the love!".

And spread it I shall!

Fabulous Pistachio Granola

3 Cups Rolled Oats (Trader Joe's sells a great gluten free bag of oats)

1.5 Cups Shelled Pistachios

1 Cup Mixed Nuts

1 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes, chopped (again, Trader Joe's)

3/4 Cup Maple Syrup

1/2 Cup Olive Oil

1/3 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Tsp Kosher Sea Salt

1/2 Tsp Cinnamon

1/2 Tsp Cardamom

1) Mix all ingredients in large bowl

2) Spread on baking sheet

3) Bake at 300 degrees stirring every 15 minutes for a total of 45 minutes

*if you like fruit in your granola, dried cherries are a great addition...add them after baking the granola  : )

 5) Let cool, break into chunks and enjoy!
