So I love granola. Plain and simple. It's such a tasty food and I love to mix it in my yogurt. So when I was playing around with the perfect recipe for granola, I of course had to tweak it to make it my own. And I just love the end result which tastes like an oatmeal cookie. It's perfect over some organic french vanilla yogurt or even ice cream! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Oatmeal Spice Granola
2 cups steel cut oats (or rolled oats, NOT quick ones!)
1 cup rice cereal (like rice krispies)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp sea salt
3 Tbsp and 1 tsp oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup raisins
Set your oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, toss the oats and rice cereal with the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, honey, vanilla, and oil together until combined. Pour over the oat and rice cereal mixture. Spread out on parchment and bake 10 minutes. Mix and add almonds. Bake another 15 minutes, mixing every 5 minutes. Allow to cool. Mix in raisins. ENJOY!!!
