Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup chopped dried plums or Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350º F. In a small saucepan, add plums and water. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, or until plums are softened. Transfer to a food processor or blender, and process until mixture is a thick paste.
  • In a large bowl, combine plum mixture, apple juice, olive oil, oats, raisins, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and coconut. Stir well, making sure everything is well coated. Spread out on a baking sheet, and bake 5 minutes.
  • Stir granola, and bake another 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool (will become more crispy as it cools), and store in an airtight container.
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1/4 cup)

Notes

  • Sprinkle on top of Chai Chia Pudding, Baked Acorn Squash with Apples, or Nutty Fruit Cereal.
  • Add to Cinnamon Roasted Almonds or Trail Mix.

When processing, do I use the liquid too?

Hi, Cassandra. That’s a good question. Most of the liquid should be absorbed. But if you still have a little, you can add it in.

Can you use dried apricots or raisins instead of plums?

Thanks

Those substitutions should work just fine. All you need is some kind of sweet “paste” to hold it together.

If you have any of the calorie count and other nutrient count it would be beneficial to some.

Yes, I agree, it would. Some of my newer recipes do have that information. Thanks for your suggestion!

Do you know the calories in a serving of the granola?

No, I don’t. However, you can determine the total calories and calories per serving by plugging the ingredients into an online recipe program. I recommend using the one on http://www.myfitnesspal.com. It’s the one I use for my recipes. I didn’t think to add nutrition facts when I first started posting recipes. I wish I had! My newest recipes do contain that information, though.

Tried this recipe this morning. It is so good! I did take the liberty of adding a little cinnamon, but I’m sure it would be equally good without it. Thanks again!

I figured it out, it would be the same for the dates. It came out perfect.

If you are using dates instead of plums, do you still need to cook for 5 minutes?

girl reading bible“Before you pray, bow quietly before God, just to remember and realize who He is, how near He is, how certainly He can and will help. Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependence and confident expectation.” – Andrew Murray
