Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 c coconut palm sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need a large baking sheet.
  • 2. In a small pot, warm coconut oil over low heat to melt it, stir in coconut palm sugar, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. This mixture should be warm, not hot.
  • 3. In a large bowl, stir together oats, salt and cinnamon.
  • 4. Pour the oil and sugar mixture onto the oat mixture and stir, then combine thoroughly using your hands to coat the oats evenly with the oil, but be careful not to burn your hands in case the oil got a little too hot!
  • 5. Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
  • 6. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until the granola is a very light golden brown.
  • 7. Cool the granola completely.
  • 8. Store in an airtight container.
  • 9. You can substitute other oils and sugars, but we like the crisp and tasty result of this combination best. Most of the time we use our granola plain, if we want nuts and dried fruit etc we just add them to suit the moment, though you can add any that you please before or after baking.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola a more complex flavor and texture. Try using rolled oats, steel-cut oats, and quick oats.
  • Toast your oats before baking. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Add your favorite nuts and seeds. This is a great way to add extra flavor, texture, and nutrients to your granola. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
  • Sweeten your granola with honey or maple syrup. These natural sweeteners will give your granola a delicious flavor without being too overpowering.
  • Add spices to your granola for extra flavor. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.
  • Bake your granola at a low temperature for a longer period of time. This will help to prevent it from burning. Stir the granola every 15-20 minutes to ensure that it bakes evenly.
  • Let your granola cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon Vanilla Granola is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of oats, nuts, seeds, and spices to choose from, you can create a granola that is perfect for you.
