Honey Almond Granola Clusters
Deliciously crunchy and sweet, these honey almond granola clusters are perfect for breakfast or snacking, and easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats Use regular rolled oats, not instant.
- 1 cup almonds Chopped or whole.
- 1/2 cup honey Can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- 2 tablespoons oil Use coconut oil or any mild oil.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon Optional, adjust to taste.
- 1/2 cup dried fruit Optional, for added sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a small saucepan, melt the honey and oil together until smooth and pourable.
- Pour the honey-oil mixture over the oats and almonds, and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and pat it down gently without packing it too tightly.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
Cooling
- Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into clusters.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
For the best clusters, do not skip the parchment paper and allow the granola to cool completely before breaking into pieces. Can be served over yogurt or eaten straight from the jar.
