Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats, not quick oats
  • 1/3 cup sliced raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • pinch salt
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Meanwhile mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Combine to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Cover a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread granola out in a thick layer, about an inch.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, gently flip/stir and to evenly cook. I try to keep mine packed together to make bigger granola clusters. Continue to flip/stir every 10 minutes.
  5. Remove when lightly browned. It won’t be crunchy quite yet, but remove from oven and it will become crunchier as it cools. You don’t want to overcook it because it will taste burnt. And nobody wants burnt granola for breakfast!
  6. I like to serve mine on top of nonfat Greek yogurt to go with my breakfast or as a snack!
