Andrea Bowen Instagram – Let’s make granola! ⁣
⁣
Granola is a fantastic thing to have on hand and couldn’t be simpler to make. Throw in whichever nuts and dried fruit float your boat and don’t stress about exact measurements here.⁣
⁣
• 4 cups old fashioned oats⁣
• Approx. 1/2 cup of nuts (I used walnuts here) ⁣
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon⁣
• 1/4 tsp of salt⁣
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract ⁣
• 1/4 tsp of almond extract (can totally be omitted, I just love the little boost it gives in the background) ⁣
• 1/2 cup of oil (I used coconut oil but also recommend splitting it half and half with olive oil to bring out a little savoriness)⁣
• 1/3 cup of maple syrup / honey⁣
• A good mixture of toppings – about a 1/4 cup of each. I used shaved coconut, dried cranberries, raisins and some ground flaxseed⁣
⁣
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.⁣
Combine your oats, nuts, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, oil and sweetener in a large bowl and stir until well mixed. Spread onto a large parchment lined baking sheet. ⁣
Bake for 20 minutes, rotating your baking sheet halfway through for even browning. ⁣
Remove from oven and toss on your toppings. Let everything cool for about 15 minutes before stirring together. ⁣

Enjoy by spoonful, bowlful and handful! 🙂 | Posted on 06/Aug/2022 20:29:03
