Golden oat clusters with honey, nuts, and a sprinkle of fleur de sel create a sweet and salty crunch.
# 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
# Directions:
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 a spatula to encourage cluster formation.
06 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning. Granola is done when golden and fragrant.
07 - Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fleur de sel. Cool completely on baking sheet. Granola will crisp as it cools.
08 - Once cooled, break into clusters. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
