Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowls and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F / 148°C. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Mix the granola. In a large bowl, mix together your oats, cinnamon, salt, and any additional spices or flavors. In a separate bowl (I just use my measuring cup to make fewer dishes to wash) combine your brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla. Pour the wet into the dry and mix well.
  3. Transfer. Pour the granola mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten with the back of the spoon till you have one even layer.
  4. Bake. Bake for 15-30 minutes in the oven, depending on how chewy or crispy you like your granola. Remove from the oven when you see a golden color begin to develop on your granola. Don't over bake this!
  5. Cool. Let cool completely before handling. Break into clusters and store in an air tight container for up to a month. Enjoy!

Notes

How to Store
To store your gluten free and nut free granola, keep it in an air tight container in your pantry or fridge if you added flax seeds. This should keep for up to 4 weeks in a cool and dark place.
If you want to freeze your granola, it can be frozen after baking and should keep for up to 4 months.
