Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup honey (use 1/2 cup maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cashews, almonds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together to incorporate everything evenly.
- Add the honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix everything up so all the dry ingredients are evenly coated by the wet ingredients.
- Pour the granola onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to spread it out into an even layer, pushing down lightly.
- Bake for 22-27 minutes until top layer is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then, use your hands to gently break up the granola into large clusters.
Notes
How long does homemade granola last?
You can keep honey nut granola and most homemade granolas in an airtight container for up to two weeks at room temperature. If you keep it in your fridge, it should last longer – about 3 weeks to a month.
I prefer to store this granola in a wide and shallow rectangular container, because I find it keeps the clusters together better than a tall and narrow container.
