Brown Butter: Place a stick (113 grams) of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Let the butter melt and cook. Check back frequently. After a few minutes, the butter will brown, leaving little brown bits in the pan. Pull the brown butter off the heat (don't let the brown bits turn black--you don't want burned butter). Let cool a little bit.
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
To a medium-sized bowl, mix together the brown butter, honey, sourdough discard, brown sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Whisk until the discard is completely incorporated into the mixture.
Add the rolled oats, nuts and dried fruit. Mix until the oats/fruit/nuts are coated in the liquid mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dump granola mixture on the parchment paper and spread evenly.
Bake for about 20 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the granola and bake for another 5-10 minutes until it starts to brown on the edges.
Pull the granola out of the oven and let cool on the sheet pan. Break up into clumps and enjoy!
