Making your own granola means you can pick the mix-ins. You can change up the nuts, fruits, and flavorings however you like, but we love the pairing of pistachios and apricots with cardamom.

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1 cup unsalted, shelled pistachios
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
⅓ cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup dried apricots, diced medium

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine oats and pistachios. In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey, cardamom, and salt over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts, about 2 minutes. (Or, place ingredients in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes; stir until combined.) Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and toss until oats and nuts are completely coated. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until oats are lightly golden, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack, 20 minutes, then stir in apricots.

Cook's Notes

Sprinkle granola on ice cream, add it to fruit salad, or fill a jar and give as a gift.
