Maple Cinnamon Granola recipe
Description
This granola recipe mixes various oats, nuts, and seeds with ground cinnamon and sea salt flakes to create a nutty, textured base. Maple syrup and melted coconut oil are added to coat the dry ingredients evenly. The mixture is then spread on a baking sheet and baked at 120 Celsius (250 Fahrenheit) for an hour, stirring every 30 minutes to promote even toasting and browning.
The slow baking method yields granola with a crisp texture and a balanced sweetness from the maple syrup. The aroma of cinnamon complements the toasted nuts and seeds, while the sea salt flakes enhance the overall flavor profile. After baking and cooling, dried cranberries or other dried fruits may be stirred in for added sweetness and chew.
Stored in airtight jars, this granola maintains freshness and can be enjoyed with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own.
