Making granola at home is simple. This granola recipe has a base of rolled oats and sliced almonds, but feel free to change the nuts or add dried fruit like raisins, currants, dried figs, cherries … the list can go on. Think of homemade granola as pantry spring cleaning. Have a tiny bit of nuts left in a bag at the back of your pantry? Add it to your granola.
You Will Need
2 cups (226g) old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup (75g) sliced almonds
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, melted coconut oil, or melted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Prepare granola: Combine the oats and sliced almonds in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir olive oil, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, then toss with the oats and nuts until well coated.
Bake granola: Spread into one layer on the baking sheet, then bake, stirring every 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown (20 to 30 minutes total). Towards the end of the baking time, check your granola every few minutes to prevent it from over-browning (especially around the edges).
Transfer to a cooling rack and let the granola cool completely. Store cooled granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
