Eleven Madison Park Granola

Eleven Madison Park Granola

At the end of every meal at the restaurant Eleven Madison Park, in Manhattan, guests are presented with a small gift: a jar of granola for tomorrow’s breakfast. It is classic Alpine fare, taken straight from the chef Daniel Humm’s childhood in Zurich. The rolled oats are golden with brown sugar and a hint of maple, with salt and a wisp of olive oil for depth. Coconut chips and shelled pistachios provide a hint of whimsy, pumpkin seeds a leathery crunch. Dried sour cherries peek out from here and there, bits of softness to complete the whole. Best of all, the recipe is simple and bulletproof for anyone with a rimmed baking sheet and an oven, at least if you're careful with the kosher salt. Opinions vary greatly over the amount we call for: a whole tablespoon. For some, that is many teaspoons too many. (For many others it is absolutely perfect.) Season to taste.

Ingredients

  • rolled oats
    2 ¾ c
  • shelled pistachios
    1 c
  • unsweetened coconut chips
    1 c
  • pumpkin seeds
    ⅓ c
  • kosher salt
    1 tbsp
  • light brown sugar
    ½ c
  • maple syrup
    ⅓ c
  • extra virgin olive oil
    ⅓ c
  • dried sour cherries
    ¾ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pistachios, coconut, pumpkin seeds and salt.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan set over low heat, warm the sugar, syrup and olive oil until the sugar has just dissolved, then remove from heat. Fold liquids into the mixture of oats, making sure to coat the dry ingredients well.

  3. 3

    Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and spread granola over it. Bake until dry and lightly golden, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring granola a few times along the way.

  4. 4

    Remove granola from oven, and mix into it the dried sour cherries. Allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to a storage container. Makes about 6 cups.

Inspired by Chef Daniel Humm's Swiss childhood, this gourmet granola offers a delightful start to any day, now accessible for you to create.

What makes this homemade granola truly special? It begins with perfectly toasted rolled oats, shimmering golden with a blend of rich brown sugar and aromatic maple syrup. A hint of extra virgin olive oil adds unexpected depth, while the careful balance of salt elevates every bite. This isn't just any vegetarian breakfast; it's an experience.

You'll discover delightful textures and flavors throughout. Crunchy shelled pistachios and earthy pumpkin seeds provide a satisfying bite, beautifully complemented by sweet unsweetened coconut chips. But the real surprise comes from the vibrant dried sour cherries, which peek out, offering a soft, tart contrast to the overall sweetness.

While the recipe is wonderfully simple, yielding perfect results with just a baking sheet and oven, it encourages you to season to taste, especially concerning the kosher salt.
