Maple Almond Granola Recipe

I woke up really early the other morning, which is a pretty common occurrence. I can never sleep in, even on weekends. Josh was still snoring away so I tip toed out of the room and decided to make a batch of granola.

I looked around in the pantry and decided to make Maple Almond Granola. I love that granola is so versatile and pantry friendly. I just used what ingredients we had at home and came up with a fantastic recipe.

I started with oats, added in almonds, wheat germ, cinnamon, and brown sugar. We were out of honey, so I used maple syrup and agave nectar instead-which added the perfect amount of sweetness. I tossed in raisins after the granola was done baking.

For breakfast, I enjoyed freshly baked granola with homemade yogurt. It was the perfect way to start the day.

• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, canola oil, agave nectar, and vanilla. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well. I do this with my clean hands.
• 3. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 300 degrees, stirring occasionally. I probably stir every 7 minutes or so. Take the granola out as soon as it starts to brown.
• 4. Stir in the raisins and cool completely. Store in an air tight container.
