Description
A crunchy, sweet, and aromatic homemade granola made with honey, nuts, and spices. Perfect for breakfast or as a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- For the Granola:
- ⅔ cup honey
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch lipped baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the Wet Mixture: In a large bowl, stir together the honey, melted butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
- Coat the Oats: Add the rolled oats to the bowl with the wet mixture. Stir until the oats are evenly coated.
- Bake the Granola: Transfer the coated oats to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 10 minutes, until the oats are a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes total.
- Add the Mix-ins: Remove the granola from the oven and transfer it back into the large bowl. Add the raisins, chopped nuts, and maple syrup. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Cool and Serve: Spread the granola back out on the baking sheet and let it cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- Granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
- Feel free to customize the mix-ins by adding other nuts, dried fruit, or seeds according to your preference.
- If you prefer sweeter granola, increase the honey or add a bit of brown sugar to the wet mixture.
