This sourdough granola recipe is one that we make on repeat. Packed with whole grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, this granola recipe is good-for-you.
Preheat the oven to 325℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole oats, sourdough discard, raw honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, sea salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer over the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven.
Use a spatula to gently turn over the granola in sections to keep the clusters from breaking up too much. Continue baking until golden and slightly crispy.
Allow the granola to cool down – the granola will continue to get crunchy as it cools. Once cool, stir in the nuts, pumpkin seeds, and raisins. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Chopped nuts: use your favorites. We like the combination of pecans and pepitas. Walnuts are also great additions.
Sourdough: use fed or discard. A freshly fed sourdough starter will give a milder flavor and discard will be more tangy and have more of that sourdough flavor.
Dried fruit: We like raisins in this recipe, but use your favorite combinations.
