This is THE quinoa granola recipe you've been searching for. I've been making a version of this for months, and I have four tips for the crunchiest, most golden quinoa granola that'll keep you feeling full until lunchtime AND that tastes delicious!

Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 cup quinoa uncooked
- 1 cup nuts see notes, chopped
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisin or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit - see notes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the rolled oats, quinoa, and chopped nuts into a large bowl.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, add the honey, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Bring it to a boil and then immediately pour it over the oats.
- Mix the oats well and then transfer them to the baking sheet, spreading them out in a thin layer.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, mixing the granola 3 times while it bakes. Remove the granola from the oven and stir in the raisins or dried cranberries.
- Once the granola is completely cool, transfer it to a sealed container. I like to use large mason jars.
Notes
- Note 1: Make sure that your oven is set to 300 degrees (NOT 350 degrees) Fahrenheit. It needs to be at a slightly lower temperature so it crisps up nicely without burning.
- Note 2: Large mason jars work great for storing granola. They're also easy to pour the granola from in the morning. Kept in your pantry, they will last for several months.
- Note 3: You can use any chopped nuts that you like. I enjoy a mix of pecans and almonds. Cashews, walnuts, peanuts, or even pistachios are also great.
