Crunchy Granola Over Plain Yogurt Middle Eastern Style
My expanded version of family fun's recipe for 'crunchy granola' with a middle eastern flavor. Inspired also by a delicious breakfast we enjoyed last weekend for mother's day at a local restaurant and which was --tasty dish-- approved!!
Steps
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl , stir together the oats , wheat germ , nuts , sesame and sunflower seeds , maple syrup / demerara or brown sugar , cinnamon , cardamom and salt.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the olive oil , agave or honey , and water.
Toss the mixture until it is well combined , then spread it evenly on a cookie sheet.
Bake the granola until lightly browned , approximately 40 minutes , stirring every 10 minutes to keep the mixture from sticking.
Set aside to cool completely , then stir in the dried fruit.
Store left over granola in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For 1 serving: spoon yogurt into a serving bowl.
Stir the rosewater or orange blossom water into the yogurt.
Top yogurt with some of the granola and add a light drizzle of agave or honey.
Enjoy !.
