Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes

Equipment

  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 Spoon or spatula
  • 1 baking tray lined with parchment paper
  • airtight storage jar or container

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats 300 grams
  • cup honey 200 grams
  • cup hazelnuts 95 grams
  • cup almonds 100 grams
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds 75 grams
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds 75 grams
  • cup pecans 70 grams
  • 2 cups puffed rice 50 grams
  • 2 cups puffed spelt 50 grams
  • 6 tbsp linseed 30 grams
  • pinch of salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan, gently melt the honey over low heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  • Pour the melted honey over the dry ingredients and stir until fully coated.
  • Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking tray. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven when golden brown.
  • Let cool completely, then store in an airtight jar or container for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • Store your granola in an airtight jar or container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 1 month.
  • Feel free to tweak the mix to your liking—use different nuts or seeds, adjust the sweetness, or mix in some cinnamon or cocoa.
  • I don’t include dried fruits in this recipe, but you can stir some in after baking if you’d like.
  • Optional add-ins: dried fruit (after baking), cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate drops.
  • I tried a vanilla pod at first, but the flavor got lost with yogurt and fruit. Homemade vanilla extract works much better and adds a lovely depth.
  • Make it your own: tweak the sweetness, mix in other nuts or seeds, or add extra spices!
