Create delicious, crunchy homemade granola clusters that rival store-bought versions. Perfect for breakfast or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, and seeds.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Press down firmly with a spatula to create a dense layer. This helps form clusters.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet without disturbing it. This is crucial for cluster formation.
  8. Once completely cool, break the granola into clusters.

Notes

  • For extra chewy clusters, you can add 1/4 cup of dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins) after baking.
  • Store your homemade granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
