Sourdough Granola
Adding sourdough discard forms the most delicious clumps in this granola! The sky is the limit with substitutions here, so feel free to customize as much as you want. Just be sure you're using the same volume of dry + wet ingredients as the recipe calls for.Makes about 6 cups of granola.

Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup sourdough discard
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shelled pistachios
- ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (see note)
- ¾ cup dried cranberries or cherries
Directions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, and olive oil. Heat over medium, stirring frequently, until the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in the discard.In a large bowl, combine the oats, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, and salt (if using). Fold the liquids into the oats until completely coated. Spread granola in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. You want to pack it in so it's all touching, but in a very thin layer. Bake for 30 minutes, then use a large spatula to flip the granola in large sections. Flipping rather than stirring will help clumps to form. Bake for another 20 minutes, flip again, and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until browned to your liking. The granola will still seem slightly soft at this point, but will harden as it cools.Remove from the oven and fold in the cranberries or cherries. Allow to cool completely and transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
Salt - If the nuts you're using are salted, you may not need to add any additional salt. The original recipe calls for a tablespoon of salt, but I would recommend starting with 1 teaspoon and adding more as you see fit!
