Homemade Granola

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine all dry ingredients (oats through salt) in a mixing bowl. Stir on low until well-combined.

In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Slowly drizzle wet ingredients into dry ingredients with mixer on low.

Generously spray a large rimmed sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Turn the granola mixture out onto the sheet pan. Spread granola out evenly all the way to the edges using a stiff metal spatula. You can also press the granola mixture into the rimmed baking sheet by placing a second rimmed baking sheet on top of the one that’s holding the granola and pressing down firmly.

Bake in the heated oven at 350 F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. If using a dark sheet pan, you may need less time, around 20 to 25 minutes. If you want a chunky granola, don’t stir; if you like a loose granola, stir twice while baking.

Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely in pan. Break up into chunks and store in an airtight container.
