What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
  • 3 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 cups golden raisin
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lightly spraying it with non-stick spray.
  2. Toss together the ingredients from the carrots to the almonds.
  3. Whisk together the ingredients from the maple syrup to the ground cardamom.
  4. Pour the second bowl over the first and stir until thoroughly combined. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and use your spatula to make sure it's evenly spread.
  5. Bake for 120 minutes while tossing the mixture every 20 or 30 minutes. The granola will be a deep golden color and smell delicious. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan.
  6. Once cooled, scrape the granola into a large bowl and add the raisins and white chocolate. Toss to combine.
