Tired of your morning food routine? This healthy baked granola can spice up any boring breakfast! With only 6 ingredients, this granola is much healthier than anything you’ll find at the grocery store. It’s crunchy, chewy and sweet, with just the perfect hint of salt. Use it to replace your cereal or add it to a smoothie bowl, yogurt or fresh fruit. It can also be used to make a killer trail mix!
I love dried fruit and have tried adding raisins and goji berries to this granola. I’ve found that it’s better to add the dried fruit after the granola is done baking, so the fruit doesn’t burn, but feel free to try out your own fancy granola experiments! ( I’m definitely trying chocolate chips next!)
• 4 cups gluten-free oats
• 1 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1/2 cup honey
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Combine oats, walnuts, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
4. Mix in melted coconut oil and honey until well-combined.
5. Pour mixture on to prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.
6. Press down onto granola mixture with the back of a wooden spoon. ( This will help create those delicious, large granola chunks.
7. Bake for 19 minutes.
Notes:
This granola makes a great gift! Just put it in a mason jar and tie a piece of ribbon or twine around the top!
