Granola {Without Oil}
Ingredients
- 4 cups (368g) rolled old fashioned oats (don’t use quick oats)
- 1 cup (150g) sliced or slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) water
- 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, toss together oats and sliced almonds, set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, water, cinnamon, and salt. Bring mixture to a boil stirring frequently. Once mixture reaches a boil, allow to boil for 1 minute whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and baking soda and whisk until mixture is foamy. Carefully pour hot sugar mixture over oat mixture and toss to evenly coat.
- Spread mixture into an even layer on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper lined 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven, about 36 - 40 minutes until lightly golden brown, removing from oven and tossing twice during baking*.
- Remove from oven allow to cool completely then break into clusters (note that granola wont be crisp until cooled). Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- *When tossing, I toss the oat mixture near the edges into the center and spread the mixture in the center out to the edges for more even cooking.
- 1 cup dried fruit such as dried blueberries, cranberries or raisins can also be added to the granola. Toss the in just after removing granola from oven.
