Simple Granola with Cranberries & Almonds

Granola is one of our favorite foods for any time of the day. I discovered this particular recipe in a magazine and I like it because it is a quick granola to throw together. The ingredients are simple and easy to assemble.

We found the granola a little too sweet the first time I made it so I cut back on the brown sugar the next time. The recipe below is the original. You can adjust it to your family’s own taste. I usually use pecans instead of almonds because they are my favorite nut. But the cranberry and almond combination is always a winner as well.




Simple Granola with Cranberries & Almonds

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 & ½ cups sliced almonds
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cooking oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 & ½ cups dried cranberries (or raisins) (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a saucepan, warm the oil and honey. Whisk or stir in vanilla.
  4. Carefully pour liquid over oat mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon.
  5. Spread granola in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer granola-filled pan to a rack; cool completely.
  7. Stir in dried cranberries.
  8. Seal granola in an airtight container or self-sealing plastic bags. Store at room temperature for 1 week or in freezer for 3 months.
  9. Makes 9 cups (24 servings).

    We are major homemade granola eaters! So much cheaper and healthier than storebought cereal. Keeps everyone full until lunch.

    This posting is very timely – I’ve been looking for a simple granola recipe. Do you use a food processor or blender to chop the oats or just use them whole?

    Sue – I just use them whole, but I imagine you could chop them up a bit. If you try it, let me know how it works out.

    Sarah – You are welcome! Sorry it took me a few days to get it done. 🙂

~ Okay, I figured out the answer to my experiment. It took ten days of trying to figure out the root problems, but it came to me this morning. Answer is in motion at the moment even though you can't see it yet on the public side. I think it will make everyone happy. ♥

~ I'm in the midst of My Two Week Experiment so if things look a bit off from time to time with the website design or layout, that's why. Thank you for your patience!
