Coffee Granola

Coffee Granola

David Venable

This coffee-infused granola is the perfect pick-me-up snack for when you're on the go!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 8 (makes 2 quarts)

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, plus more for greasing your pan
  • 1-3/4 cups honey
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup instant coffee grounds
  • 4 Tbsp fresh brewed coffee
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups pecans
  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 egg white, whisked with a fork until frothy

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 275℉. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the honey, sugar, coffee grounds, brewed coffee, vanilla, and salt.

Pulse the pecans in a food processor until coarsely chopped (or use a knife). Combine the pecans and oats in a big bowl. Pour the coffee liquid on top. Toss. Add the egg white. Toss again gently.

Lightly butter a sheet pan. Add the granola mixture and spread evenly. Bake for about 45–55 minutes total, stirring every 15 minutes, until it's golden brown and feels dry to the touch. Cool completely and then break into clusters.
