How to Make Popcorn Granola
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread 3 cups of rolled oats on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted, stirring halfway through.
- In a large bowl, combine the toasted oats, 2 cups popped popcorn, 1 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries (or other dried fruit), and 1/2 cup sunflower seeds.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the margarine is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the melted mixture over the oat and popcorn mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows the mixture to crisp up and the flavors to meld. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
