Description
This Granola for Yogurt boasts irresistible flavor with easy preparation. Made with rolled oats, honey, and vanilla, it’s perfect for a quick healthy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (368 grams) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) raw sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
- 6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter or coconut oil (for vegan)
- 6 tablespoons (120 grams) honey or for vegan, use maple syrup or brown rice syrup
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond or coconut extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a jelly roll pan (10″x15″ or 25cm x 38 cm) with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter or coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, almond or coconut extract, and salt. Stir in the oats until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared jelly roll pan, ensuring no granola pieces are off to the side that could burn.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until edges start to brown. Keep a close eye as ovens vary.
- Stir the granola thoroughly and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes until uniformly lightly browned. Test for doneness by chilling a small spoonful and checking if it crisps upon cooling.
- Allow the granola to cool completely on the pan for about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 weeks.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup or brown rice syrup.
Ensure to stir the granola every few minutes while baking for even browning.
Cool completely before storing for the best texture.
