Crunchy Granola with Dried Asian Pears
Created for our 2026 Spring Recipe Contest, this homemade granola gets a naturally sweet boost from dried Subarashii Kudamono Asian Pears.
Rolled oats, nuts and seeds create plenty of satisfying crunch, while maple syrup, honey and apple butter add just enough sweetness. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk or simply by the handful.
Ingredients
3¾ c rolled oats (organic if possible)
2 tbsp walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts, chopped
2 tbsp raw hulled sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
4 tbsp raw flaxseed (yellow or brown)
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tbsp raw sugar
2 tbsp honey
1/3 c + 1 tbsp unsweetened apple butter or apple sauce
30 pieces dried Asian pears, chopped (to make about 2/3 c finely chopped)
2 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 280 degrees F
- Place all the ingredients except the dried Asian pears and vanilla in a large bowl and stir well until evenly moistened.
- Evenly spread the mixture on a large jelly roll pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove and stir to ensure even baking, then return to the oven for another 30 minutes, or until the oats are dry and crisp.
