Oh So Good Granola

Share This

Granola is a breakfast food and snack food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners such as brown sugar, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked until it is crisp, toasted and golden brown. During the baking process, the mixture is stirred to maintain a loose breakfast cereal consistency.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a separate bowl, add the oil, honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds and then whisk until well-combined. Pour over dry mixture and stir to coat thoroughly.
Add in almonds. Spread on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 25 minutes. Stir mixture about every 10 minutes. When mix reaches a golden brown color, it’s done.
Allow granola to cool on baking sheet—break up large pieces as needed—and store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
