Description
If you're looking for a go-to classic granola recipe look no further than this healthy cinnamon and honey granola. And unlike most granola recipes, this honey granola recipe uses no nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup Honey
- ⅓ cup Sunflower butter ((sub with peanut butter))
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 ½ cups Quick oats
- ½ cup Rolled oats, ground into flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, add in the honey, sunflower butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt. Whisk well, until the mixture looks creamy.
- Pour the quick oats and rolled oats, and mix gently with a spatula. I recommend using a fold and press motion with your spatula to avoid breaking the oat grains. Continue to mix until the oats are thoroughly coated with the honey mixture.
- Dump the granola mixture out onto the prepared sheet pan and gently spread into a ½" layer, leaving some air pockets between the granola. Make sure most of the mixture is touching to ensure that you get giant clusters.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, the time will depend on how hot your oven runs. But I recommend checking it around the 15 minutes mark. The granola is done when the edges just start to get golden brown.
- Once the granola is done baking, let it cool on the counter for 20 minutes. This is important as it'll ensure the sugar in the honey crystallized and forms clusters in the granola by binding the oats together.
- Once the granola has cooled, gently break it into clusters. Store in an airtight, glass container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
