The BEST Matzo Granola!
Easy, delicious, customizable and perfect for Passover - the BEST matzo granola!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 sheets matzo crumbled (to make 2 heaping cups)
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped dried figs
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the matzo, nuts and coconut flakes in a large bowl - set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat stir the honey, sugar, olive oil, cinnamon and allspice just till the sugar is dissolved. Pour over your dry ingredients and stir till well combined. Add a good pinch of kosher salt and stir again.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 - 30 minutes, stirring and checking every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven when the granola is golden brown and let cool completely.
- Use your hands to break up any larger clusters and stir in the dried fruit. Store in the freezer in a ziploc bag (or other airtight container).
