Brown Butter Pecan Granola
 
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups rolled old-fashioned large flake oats
  • 1 cup wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup oat bran
  • 1/2 cup wheat bran
  • 4 cups All Bran Flakes
  • 2 cups Bran Buds cereal
  • 2 1/2 cups dried banana chips
  • 3/4 cup butter, browned for 8 minutes
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp maple extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats through to the bran buds cereal. Stir or use hands to mix thoroughly.
  3. In a pot over medium heat, melt the butter then simmer, stirring constantly. It will foam, keep stirring until you see the butter begin to brown. Remove from the heat immediately so it doesn’t burn and quickly pour in the maple syrup, then the water and maple extract. Whisk well to combine.
  4. Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients. Put everything in a large roasting pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes for a softer textured granola, 30 minutes to make it crunchy.
  6. *Stir every 10 minutes to ensure all of the granola browns evenly.
  7. Remove from heat and crumble the banana chips in and stir to mix.
  8. Mixture may be frozen for later use.
