Granola Recipe from the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills

I think I found a way to reconcile my love affair with cook books and cooking magazines while losing weight. Bon Appetit just published a yummy granola recipe from the Four Seasons that a reader had requested. I made a batch last night to try this morning. Served it with vanilla yogurt and pineapple. Yum!

Honey-Cinnamon Granola
Makes 11 Cups

4 C. toasted whole grain cereal with almonds & dates (like Mueslix)
3 C. old fashioned oats
1 C. chopped walnuts
1 C. chopped almonds
3/4 C. chopped hazelnuts (I used pecans)
1/2 C. honey
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1/3 C. dried blueberries (I used 1/2 cup because the granola looked naked)
1/3 C. dried cranberries (I used dried cherries)
1/3 C. golden raisins
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

Mix whole grain cereal, oats, and nuts in a large bowl. Bring honey and oil to boil in small saucepan; drizzle over dry mixture and toss to coat evenly. Spread mixture onto large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and dry, stirring every 15 mintues, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Scatter dried fruit over. Sprinkle cinnamon and mix.
Cool completely and store for up to 2 weeks.

  1. Hey - I made my 1st batch with muselix...the dates and raisins burned! I rifled through the whole batch picking them out. I'd make sure in the future to buy a museli-style cereal without any dried fruits and just add however many raisins/cranberries/blueberries you want at the end.
