Sourdough Granola
This homemade sourdough granola is uniquely tangy, lightly sweetened, and full of healthy fats from wholesome ingredients. The addition of sourdough starter and your favorite add-ins means lots of crunchy clusters in each bite of this delicious snack.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped nuts I used pistachios, but any nut will do.
- 2 cups oats
- 8 ounces coconut chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup oil avocado or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard active starter will also work.
- 1 cup dried fruit Mix it up and use whatever dried fruit you like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add chopped nuts, oats, coconut, and salt to a large bowl and mix.
- Add the honey, oil, and sourdough starter, stirring well.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. You'll know it's done when it's golden in color, and the honey and oats smell warm and toasty.
- Add the dried fruit while the granola is still warm, then let it all cool completely before breaking up into clusters. Enjoy!

Notes
- For more sourdough flavor, use sourdough discard. For a milder flavor, use a fed starter.
- Raw nuts will roast right along with the granola. I've used roasted nuts with good results, as well.
- Don't add the dried fruit before baking, as it can become tough and overly dry.
- For the crunchiest granola, wait until it has cooled completely before breaking up into clusters. Break it up as little or as fine as you prefer!
