Salted Honey Granola (Printable Version)

Crunchy oat clusters with honey, toasted nuts, and a hint of fleur de sel for balanced flavor.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup raw nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts), roughly chopped
03 - 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup honey
06 - 1/3 cup neutral oil (sunflower, grapeseed, or melted coconut oil)
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Finishing

08 - 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel, plus extra for sprinkling

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, coconut if using, and cinnamon.
03 - In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm honey and oil until combined and fluid. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Pour honey mixture over dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly, ensuring all oats and nuts are evenly coated.
05 - Spread mixture in an even layer on prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with spatula to encourage cluster formation.
06 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning, until golden and fragrant.
07 - Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fleur de sel. Let cool completely on baking sheet; granola will crisp as it cools.
08 - Once cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • Perfect Balance: The combination of honey and a sprinkle of fleur de sel creates an irresistible sweet-and-salty profile.
  • Crunchy Clusters: By pressing the oats into the pan, you get those chunky, bakery-style clusters everyone loves.
  • Wholesome Ingredients: Made with old-fashioned oats and raw nuts, it's a nutrient-dense way to start your day.
02 -
  • Wait for the Crisp: Resist the urge to handle the granola while it is hot; it only reaches its maximum crispness once it has cooled completely on the baking sheet.
  • Press for Clusters: For larger clusters, press the mixture firmly into the pan with a spatula before baking and avoid over-stirring during the cooking process.
