Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup wheat germ
  • 1 cup roughly chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup eggnog
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg white
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • Sprinkles, if desired

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together oats, wheat germ, pecans, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together eggnog, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Place egg white in a small bowl and whisk it for about 30 seconds, until frothy. Stir into eggnog mixture and then pour into bowl with oats. Stir to coat completely dry ingredients.
  • Evenly spread oat mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 60 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through cooking time, until granola is golden and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and let rest until completely cooled (don't stir!). Once cooled, break up big clumps and stir in cranberries. Stir in sprinkles if desired.
  • Store granola in airtight containers. I like to use large mason jars.
