Cinnamon Granola

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients  

  • ½ cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed or sunflower
  • ½ cup honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup dried fruit, optional

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 300℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the granola and almonds to the oil and honey mixture and stir to coat.
  • Spread the oats in an even layer onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Using a rubber spatula press the oats into a flat, even layer.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Granola is done when it is golden brown and the almonds are toasted. The mixture will still slightly wet when it comes out of the oven but will dry and harden as it cools.
  • Remove the granola from the oven and sprinkle in the dried fruit if desired. To create clumps of granola, press and tamp it down before it cools to help it stick together.
  • Cool granola complete before storing in an airtight container.
