How to Make Grandpaw's Granola
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, mixed nuts, mixed seeds, and dried fruit.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger (if using), and salt until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly moistened. Make sure all the oats are coated.
- Spread the granola mixture in a thin, even layer (about 1/2 inch) on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Then, remove from oven, gently stir the granola, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (120°C). Stir the granola again and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets. The granola will continue to crisp as it cools.
- Once completely cool, break the granola into smaller clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
