Honey Cinnamon Granola: An Incredible Essential Recipe for Breakfast


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 3 cups rolled oats
– 1 cup nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
– 1 cup seeds (e.g., pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds)
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup honey or maple syrup
– ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or apricots)


Instructions

Making Honey Cinnamon Granola is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until the oats and nuts are well-coated with sweetness.
5. Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly in a single layer.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
7. Cool Down: Once golden and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it to clump together nicely.
8. Add Dried Fruits: After cooling, mix in your choice of dried fruits, combining them thoroughly with the granola.
9. Store: Once everything is incorporated, transfer your Honey Cinnamon Granola to an airtight container for storage. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks.

Following these steps will yield a delicious batch of granola that is sure to impress!
