Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 100 g sourdough starter active or discard
- 30 g salted butter 2 T, melt
- 113 g honey ⅓ cup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
Dry Ingredients
- 158 g old-fashioned rolled oats 1¾ cups
- 50 g seeds
- 50 g nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Combine all of the ingredients from the wet ingredients list in a large mixing bowl and mix well to combine.
- Next, add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine until they're completely coated with the wet ingredients.
- optional: To ferment the sourdough granola, loosely cover the bowl and allow the oat mixture to ferment at room temperature for 2-6 hours before baking. If you want to ferment longer, move to the refrigerator. The longer it sits, the more sour tang the granola will have.
- Pour the granola mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it into a tight, even layer. (Fermenting tip: the granola can be thick and sticky after sitting. Using wet hands makes it easier to flatten out the granola into the pan.)
- Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Gently stir, flip and rotate the granola, doing your best to expose the wet, underside of the granola, so that it can continue to dry and turn golden brown as it bakes.
- Return back to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes. (if you added additional wet ingredients such as nut or fruit butters, it might need additional baking time - just keep an eye on it)
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the pan. It will not seem very crispy when you first take it out of the oven as it still retains moisture while hot, but it will become more crunchy as it cools.
- To preserve the crunchiness, store the granola in an airtight container. I use a large glass container.
