Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Matzo farfel
- 1 cup Slivered almonds
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 cup Coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher for Passover salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the matzo farfel, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, and coconut flakes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is combined. Remove from heat.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down gently to create an even layer.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack, topping, or with yogurt during Passover!
