A delightful homemade granola recipe featuring honey and almonds, perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and sliced almonds.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and nuts.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey and olive oil over low heat until combined.
Warming the honey and oil helps them mix better and coat the oats evenly.
Pour the honey-oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Ensure all the oats are coated for even baking.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the granola to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Cooling allows the granola to crisp up.
Stir in the raisins once the granola has cooled.
Adding raisins after cooling prevents them from hardening during baking.
Store the granola in an airtight container for freshness.
Proper storage keeps the granola crunchy and delicious.
