Ingredients

  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup salted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 300°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Move the center rack up a level so it's on the second level from the top.
  • Mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until combined. In a small, separate bowl, stir the melted butter, honey, vanilla and egg white together, then drizzle over the oat mixture, stirring together until well-combined.
    4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 cup salted butter, 1/3 cup honey, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 egg white
  • Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out in an even layer. If you want large chunks of granola, flatten into an even layer with a spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through for even toasting, until golden and crispy and the almonds look lightly toasted. 
  • Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature.

Notes

You could easily substitute coconut oil or even just vegetable oil for the butter, if you prefer.
Homemade granola lasts for about 2 weeks in an airtight container.
