There’s nothing better than crunchy and clustery granola to top off a hearty breakfast (a new list of ideas below!) This granola is low in sugar but still tastes sweet and is the right amount of crunch to chewy ratio. This granola is made with simple ingredients, and you can sub out any of the nuts to make it just the way you like it!
My mama has been making this sweet, crunchy and clustery granola for years, and it made my whole kitchen smell like my childhood while I was baking it this morning. Hopefully it warms up your kitchen with a little happiness.
Different ways to eat said granola:
- Sliced apples with a thick smear of peanut butter, granola on top
- Waffles/pancakes/ bagels/toast- peanut butter, banana, and granola on top
- Granola with milk as cereal
- Granola as a topping on oatmeal
- Yogurt parfait
Ingredients:
- 4 C oats
- 1 ½ C sliced almonds
- ½ C chopped walnuts (optional)
- ¼ C brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ C coconut oil
- ½ C honey
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 C craisins or raisins
Now you make it:
- Preheat oven to 300
- In a large bowl mix oats, almonds, walnuts, salt, cinnamon, and craisins
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine brown sugar, coconut oil, honey and vanilla and microwave for 30 seconds or until the coconut oil is melted. Stir until there are no clumps. Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients and mix together carefully, until all of the oat mixture is lightly covered
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and spread out granola evenly. Bake for 40 minutes. Resist stirring throughout the baking so that the granola can form larger clusters
Enjoy!
