Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (250g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (80g) sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup (55g) coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml/170g) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) canola oil or other neutral oil, such as coconut or olive oil
  • 3/4 cup (120g) dried cranberries, raisins or other dried chopped fruit

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine the oats, almonds, pecans, chia seeds in a large bowl and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring the mixture gently every 10 minutes to prevent burning with a spatula, until the entire mixture is medium golden brown. It may be still wet when coming out of the oven but will dry as it cools.
  • Toss the granola with a spatula and mix in the dried cranberries, raisins or other dried fruits. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Notes

This granola can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
