    Make sure that the bowl is deep enough to allow you to incorporate them properly. You can use a spatula, a wooden spoon, or a ladle to mix them until combined.

  • Spread the ingredients evenly on a baking tray.
    For lining your baking tray, you can use parchment paper with extra hanging over the sides that you can fold at the edges. Fold the parchment paper inside according to the size of the tray.

  • Bake it.
    In this recipe, preheat the oven to 250°F or 120°C before baking the granola at 150°C for 10 minutes.

  • Take the granola out of the oven, mix , and spread evenly again.
    After 10 minutes in the oven, carefully remove the granola from the oven and stir it together. Compress the granola with a spatula for extra crunchy granola clusters.
  • Bake it again.
    Baking it for the second time will add the crispiness and the granola clusters. Keep the temperature at 150°C for best results.

  • Allow the granola to cool then break into clusters.
    I can recommend leaving the granola to cool for at least 45 minutes before breaking it apart or into clusters with a spatula or a spoon.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the granola and mix together.
    Once the granola is cooled and clustered, you can now add in the other dry ingredients for nutrition and flavor.

Notes

  • If you’re on a gluten-free diet, use Certified Gluten-Free Oats as a substitute.
  • In case you have a nut allergy, feel free to replace the nuts with seeds and other dried fruits. 
  • Evenly spread the mixture on the lined baking tray so that every ingredient is baked properly.
  • Baking it for the second time will add crispiness and granola clusters. Keep the temperature at 150°C for best results.
  • I recommend leaving the granola to cool for at least 45 minutes before breaking it apart or into clusters with a spatula or a spoon.
  • You can opt for certified gluten-free oats and replace some of the spices with pumpkin pie spice. Add in some nuts and chocolate chips, and you have yourself a gluten-free granola recipe!
  • Enjoy no-oven granola by cooking the ingredients in a large skillet on a medium to high heat stove. Mix constantly to avoid burning.
