Winter is citrus season, so let’s celebrate it as often and in as many ways as we can, and I enjoy cardamom year-round, but it feels especially cozy during the winter months - hello, Orange Cardamom Granola.

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned or rolled oats

1 cup sliced raw almonds

1/2 cup hemp hearts

1/2 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

2 tsp. ground cardamom

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. sea salt

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

⅓ cup pure maple syrup

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Zest of 1 orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat, and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl add the oats, almonds, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Stir together the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Add to the dry ingredients, and stir until everything is combined and moistened.
  4. Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Spread out into an even layer. Bake for 25-27 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  5. Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet, which will help it become crisp and crunchy.
  6. Store in air tight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
