A delightful and crunchy granola recipe with a hint of honey and spices.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, sliced almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir constantly to prevent the honey from burning.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are coated.
Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and ensure even coating.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Press the mixture gently to form clusters if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even baking.
Keep an eye on the granola to prevent over-browning.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into clusters.
Avoid stirring while cooling to maintain cluster formation.
Store the granola in an airtight container and enjoy as a snack or topping.
Label the container with the date for freshness tracking.
