Homemade Granola

• 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup mixed nuts (sliced almonds and chopped hazelnuts)
• 1/2 cup dried peaches, chopped
• 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds, coarsely ground
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
• 1 tablespoon Bourbon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
• 1 dash cinnamon
• 1 egg white

1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0 165u0b0C.
2. In a large bowl, toss together the rolled oats, nuts, dried peaches, coconut, flaxseeds, and chia seeds.
3. In a small sauce pan over low heat, add butter, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla extract, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and mixture is completely smooth.
4. Pour warm butter and sugar mixture over dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
5. Beat egg white until frothy. Gently stir into mixture then spread onto a sheet pan or large baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and dry to the touch. Turn oven off, crack open the oven door, and let granola cool completely inside the oven for a couple of hours.
6. Transfer to an airtight container, breaking granola up a little but leaving some good sized clusters intact. Store at room temperature for up 2 weeks (or for several weeks in the freezer)!
