Honeyed Granola

Homemade granola is ridiculously easy to make. This recipe produces granola clusters which make a great snack or can be sprinkled on top of yogurt for a healthy breakfast.

Yields: about  2 C. granola

2 Tbsp. butter or coconut oil
3 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Pinch salt

1 C. oats
2/3 C. almonds or pecans



Preheat oven to 300. Line a half sheet pan ( cookie sheet) with parchment paper and set aside. In a mixing bowl, toss together oats and nuts. Set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt together butter, honey, brown sugar, and salt. Pour over oat mixture and toss to combine.

Transfer granola to the lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes, stirring once. You are looking for your granola to be lightly browned and toasted. It will have a very fragrant, yummy smell and will still look sticky (it won't become crunchy until it cools).  Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before transferring to a storage container.
