Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and stir to combine. Let cook until the sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Combine the oats and almonds in a large bowl. Add the butter mixture and toss well to coat. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then stir in the raisins. Bake until crisp and golden brown all over, another 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. The granola will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Choose the right oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice for granola. They hold their shape well and have a chewy texture.
- Use a variety of nuts and seeds: This will add flavor and texture to your granola. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
- Don't skimp on the sweetener: Granola needs a little sweetness to balance out the other ingredients. Use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar, or a combination of all three.
- Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm and inviting flavor to your granola.
- Bake it low and slow: Granola should be baked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help it to crisp up without burning.
- Let it cool completely before storing: Granola will keep for up to two weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. Once it has cooled completely, you can store it in a jar or bag.
