Homemade granola

Making your own granola is a fun and delicious way to enjoy a nutritious breakfast or snack. This recipe combines gluten-free oats with a variety of nuts and seeds, sweetened with honey and spiced with cinnamon for a perfect crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups gluten-free oats
  • 1 cup cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, chopped cashews, chopped almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey until it becomes runny. Pour the honey over the dry ingredients, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Combine: Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are well coated with honey and cinnamon.
  • Bake: Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  • Store: Once cooled, store your homemade granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
