Ingredients

  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
  • 1/2 cup unsalted almonds
  • 2 tabslespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Combine oats, brown sugar, salt, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine coconut oil and honey. Heat in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring until coconut oil is melted. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  4. Pour liquid mixture over oat mixture, and stir until all of the oats are coated. Add egg white and stir until combined. (I sometimes use my hands here- it is a bit sticky but effective).
  5. Pour onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove to stir around, and spread it out evenly again.
  7. Return to oven for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown (Add more time if you like your granola crispier).
  8. Remove from oven and pour granola on another piece of parchment paper to cool.
  9. After granola has cooled (about an hour), store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
