Golden Syrup Granola With Celtic Sea Salt Recipe

Name: Golden Syrup Granola With Celtic Sea Salt
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 cups rolled oats; 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes or a mixture of coconut flour and coconut flakes; 3 cups Hazelnuts, roughly chopped; 1 1/2 cups dates (or other dried fruits, currants, raisins, dried cherries, etc.); 2 teaspoons warm spices (i.e. cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice); 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 3 tablespoons coarse sea salt; 1 cup Golden Syrup; 2/3 cup olive oil; 3 large egg whites

Servings: persons

1
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat to 300F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
2
Boil water in a kettle or small saucepan and pour over dates until they are just covered. Add a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract, orange juice, brandy or rum to the water-date mixture if you wish (this will infuse them with a little more flavor) and set aside for about 20 minutes.
3
Place the oats, nuts, coconut flakes/flour, salt, spices (if using) into a large bowl, and stir well. Add the golden syrup and olive oil, and stir to evenly coat.
4
Strain dates, discarding soaking liquid, and chop (I like to chop them roughly but you know how you like them). Add the chopped dates to the dry ingredients.
5
Whisk egg whites until frothy. Stir the egg whites into the granola mixture until they are evenly incorporated.
6
Divide the mixture between the two prepared sheet pans. After about 20 minutes, use a large spatula to turn large the granola over, keeping it in large pieces.
7
Rotate pans front to back and bottom to top. Bake 20-30 minutes longer, until the whole pan is an even, toasted, golden color.
8
Remove the pans from the oven and allow to cool completely.
9
Once the granola is cool, break into whatever size chunks suit your fancy.

Variations & substitutions

Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
