Granola

A few weeks back, I shared that I made my favorite granola on Instagram and it’s honestly SO good! I thought i’d share the recipe in case you’re looking for something a little healthier to snack on…

I got this recipe from my coworker about 7 years ago and ever since then, I make it multiple times a year. Even Magnolia likes it.. and she’s picky.

Oven: 325 Degrees

in a large bowl, mix the following ingredients:

1 large “box/silo” of original oats (cannot be instant!)

1.5 cup brown sugar

3 tbsp cinnamon

2-3 cups assorted nuts (I used almonds, sunflower kernels and cashews this last time but you can use any!)

Mix well.

On the stovetop in a small saucepan mix:

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1.5 cup honey

1 tbsp vanilla

Bring to a boil and stir into oat mixture.

Grease well with nonstick spray a large pan with sides (I use a roasting pan). Dump the granola mixture into the pan.

Place in pre-heated oven. STIR EVERY 10 MINUTES – THIS IS KEY!! Once slightly browned (about 20-30 mins), remove from oven. Cool and enjoy.

Beware, this makes a ton of granola but it can be kept in the freezer!

Let me know if you try this and how you like it!
