Homemade Almond & Peanut Granola

1. 1
   prep

   Preheat the oven and prepare the baking tray.

   1.Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

   2.Line a large rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.

   TIPA low oven temperature is key for evenly crisp granola without burning the nuts.
2. 2
   mix

   Combine the dry ingredients.

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, peanuts, cinnamon powder, and salt. Toss well to distribute the nuts and spice evenly.

   Whisk and pour the wet mixture.

   1.In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

   2.Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture.

   3.Stir thoroughly with a spatula until every oat and nut is well coated.

   Spread the granola and bake.

   1.Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking tray.

   2.Spread into a thin, even layer, pressing down lightly with the spatula.

   3.Bake for 15 minutes.

   TIPPressing the mixture down helps create larger clusters during baking.

   Stir and continue baking until golden.

   1.Remove the tray from the oven and gently stir the granola, bringing the edges toward the center.

   2.Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, until deep golden and fragrant.

   TIPWatch closely during the last 5 minutes; nuts and honey can turn from golden to burnt quickly.

   Cool the granola completely on the tray.

   Remove the tray from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the granola cool completely without disturbing it — it will crisp up and form crunchy clusters as it cools.
