Nutty Granola
Ingredients
- 6 cups (480g) rolled oats
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (112g) canola oil
- 1/2 cup (160g) honey
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups (234g) walnuts, roughly chopped (almonds work well too)
- Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C).
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and salt.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the oil, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften the mixture, then whisk until well combined. Pour over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly to coat.
Add the walnuts and stir to combine. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning, until the granola is golden brown.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, breaking up large clusters as needed. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
