Pantry Staple for Emergency Food Kits Recipe

American · Snack · 35 min total

A shelf-stable, nutrient-dense granola that provides energy and essential fats for emergency situations. Easy to make with common pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

• 4 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
3. In a small saucepan, warm honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and combined. Stir in salt and cinnamon if using.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
7. Let cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp as it cools.
8. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.

Tips

• Store in a cool, dark place for maximum shelf life.
• Add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries after baking if desired, but note that fruit reduces shelf stability.
• Use within 3 months for best quality; can be frozen for up to 6 months.
