Granola Recipe
Description
The Granola Recipe combines old-fashioned rolled oats with sliced almonds, cinnamon, light brown sugar, and salt to create a flavorful dry mixture. A separate blend of melted salted butter, honey, vanilla, and egg white is poured over the dry ingredients to bind the granola together. Spreading the mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baking at 300°F, rotating once for even toasting, produces golden, crisp granola with lightly toasted almonds. The use of egg white contributes to the granola’s chunkier texture by helping clusters form during baking. Cooling completely before storing in an airtight container preserves its crispness. This granola can be enjoyed with milk, yogurt, or as a topping for desserts.
Butter can be substituted with coconut or vegetable oil if desired. Homemade granola maintains freshness for about two weeks stored at room temperature in a sealed container.
Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 1/2 cups almonds sliced
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup butter melted, salted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Heat oven to 300°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Move the center rack up a level so it's on the second level from the top.
- Mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until combined. In a small, separate bowl, stir the melted butter, honey, vanilla and egg white together, then drizzle over the oat mixture, stirring together until well-combined.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out in an even layer. If you want large chunks of granola, flatten into an even layer with a spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through for even toasting, until golden and crispy and the almonds look lightly toasted.
- Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature.
Notes
- You can replace the butter with coconut or vegetable oil to alter the fat content or flavor.
- Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and crispness.
