Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160 C / 320 F.
In a small mixing
bowl
, combine the juice, honey, oil, salt, and cinnamon - combine well and set aside.
In another larger
mixing bowl
- combine the rolled oats and seeds.
Next, pour the mixture of liquid ingredients over the mixture of dry ingredients.
Mix well - to combine. You want every grain of oat to get soaked with the liquid ingredients. This will help them toast nice and crisp.
Pour the mixture into a
baking tray
. I like to line my baking pan with
parchment paper.
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the oats are lightly golden.
When you take it out of the oven, add the chopped dates. Stir well to combine. The heat from the granola will soften it up and make it more delicious.
Cool completely before you transfer to an airtight container. I like to store mine in these
glass storage containers.
This batch will last for a month at room temperature.
Notes
Gluten-free granola
– to make gluten-free granola use gluten-free oats
Nut-free granola
– to make it a nut-free granola use seeds such as pepita and sunflower instead of nuts
Vegan granola –
to make a vegan granola use maple syrup instead of honey, and coconut oil instead of canola oil
Granola is delicious on its own, with milk or with yogurt for breakfast or snacks.
Try yogurt granola parfait with yogurt and fresh fruits as we did in this g
ranola parfait
or breakfast parfait
