Pistachio Goji Berry Granola
This Pistachio Goji Berry Granola is a vibrant blend of crunchy, chewy, and subtly sweet textures that will elevate your breakfast or snack game. The golden clusters of oats, kissed with a hint of honey, bake to perfection in just 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with a warm, toasty aroma.
- 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/3 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup goji berries
Heat a large skillet on the stove over low heat. Add the oats and spread them into a thin layer in the pan. Let them start to toast for a minute or two.
Add the coconut oil and salt, and stir to incorporate. Continue toasting the oats for 5-7 minute or so, stirring only occasionally.
Add the maple syrup 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir to coat. (Keep your stove at a pretty low temp so the maple syrup doesn't burn).
Once the oats look pretty toasty, add the pistachios, coconut flakes, and cinnamon. Continue to slowly cook until the pistachios and coconut flakes are toasted but not burned (about another 5 minutes).
Watch carefully, as the bottom layer starts to toast, you want to stir it (before it burns)... pause and stir again so everything toasts evenly.
Remove from the pan and stir in the goji berries. Let cool and enjoy as a snack or on top of your yogurt (coconut yogurt if you're vegan).
