How to Make Passover Low Fat Granola
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups matzah farfel, 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup chopped nuts.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto a large non-stick baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
- While the farfel mixture bakes, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup), and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a two-quart saucepan.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sweetener is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Remove the farfel mixture from the oven and add it to the saucepan with the oil and sweetener mixture.
- Stir gently but thoroughly until the farfel is evenly coated.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon grated orange peel.
- Spread the coated farfel mixture back onto the non-stick baking sheet.
- Bake for another 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once cooled, gently stir in 1/2 cup raisins (if using).
- Break up any large clumps with a spatula.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
