Ingredients for Almond Honey Granola

  • 1/4 cup oil (canola or coconut)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Almond Extract
  • Old Fashioned Oats
  • Wheat Germ
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • Natural Bran

How to Make Almond Honey Granola

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup oil (such as canola or coconut), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until honey is melted and combined.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup sliced almonds, and 1/2 cup chopped dried fruit (such as cranberries or raisins).
  4. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well, and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into smaller clusters.
  7. Once cooled, stir in 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, and 2 tablespoons powdered milk (optional).
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
