So. Granola.
My family is obsessed with granola, but I’m not much of a granola person.
What? Posting a recipe that I’m not crazy about?
Well, here’s the thing. When there’s a bag of this crunchy granola sitting around, it always finds its way into my mouth. And I can’t stop. Why is that? Granola is so sneaky.
And by the way, eating granola makes you feel like Nature Girl. Granola is totally for nature people, isn’t it? And I think nature people are healthy. Score.
- 6 cups gluten free rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 cup pecans, halved (almonds or walnuts work well for a substitution)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup oil
- ½ cup honey
- Preheat oven to 320 degrees.
- Mix first 6 ingredients together. Whisk the oil and the honey together and add to oats mixture.
- Spread on a baking sheet (it’s helpful if it has raised edges) and bake for 35 minutes, stirring all the way down to the bottom of the pan a few times during baking. Bake longer for more crunch, but don’t let it burn! Allow granola to cool completely after baking (this is when it clumps together). Serve with milk, yogurt, fruit, ice cream, or just plain snacking!
