Easy Healthy Granola Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cup nuts and/or seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup dried fruit

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9" x 13" baking pan with parchment
  paper for clumpy granola. Otherwise, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment
  paper and set aside.
• 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, salt, and cinnamon; stir.
• 3 Pour in the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until everything is lightly
  coated. Pour the granola into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
• 4 Bake until lightly golden, about 20 to 24 minutes. Stir halfway through baking.
  For clumpy granola, stir and then gently press the granola with the back of a
  spatula.
• 5 Once baked, remove from the oven and let sit for about 1 hour. The granola will
  crisp up in this time. Although it’s difficult to leave undisturbed when it
  smells that wonderfully!
• 6 After the granola has cooled completely, top with dried fruit. For clumpy
  granola, break into pieces with your hand. Otherwise, stir with a spoon.
• 7 Store for 1 to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer
  storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10
  minutes before eating to warm up the nuts and fruit.
