Granola Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans), roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for even baking of the granola.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle honey and oil over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
- Spread Mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture in an even layer to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and prevent burning.
- Cool: Remove the granola from the oven once it is golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet, during which it will become crispier.
Notes
- For chunky clusters, press the granola down firmly on the baking sheet before baking and avoid stirring halfway.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries after baking to avoid moisture.
- Feel free to customize nuts and spices based on your preference.
