Servings: persons

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup mixed nuts (sliced almonds and chopped hazelnuts)
1/2 cup dried peaches, chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
2 tablespoons flaxseeds, coarsely ground
1 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
1 tablespoon Bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1 dash cinnamon
1 egg white

1
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0 [165u00b0C].
2
In a large bowl, toss together the rolled oats, nuts, dried peaches, coconut, flaxseeds, and chia seeds.
3
In a small sauce pan over low heat, add butter, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla extract, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and mixture is completely smooth.
4
Pour warm butter and sugar mixture over dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
5
Beat egg white until frothy. Gently stir into mixture then spread onto a sheet pan or large baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and dry to the touch. Turn oven off, crack open the oven door, and let granola cool completely inside the oven for a couple of hours.
6
Transfer to an airtight container, breaking granola up a little but leaving some good sized clusters intact. Store at room temperature for up 2 weeks (or for several weeks in the freezer)!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
