CRISPY GRANOLA




Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
3 cups uncooked rolled oats
1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
1/2 cup sesame seeds (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruit (optional)

Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray a large, shallow baking pan with cooking spray (I used parchment paper and it worked great), set aside. Put egg whites in a large bowl and mix until frothy. Stir in honey, cinnamon, and salt. Add oats and any other optional ingredients (here it says "except dried fruit, but I added it and it was just fine. I used the first seven ingredients and added chopped almonds and Craisins) of choice. Stir until ingredients are well coated with egg mixture. Spread mixture onto baking sheet. Bake 20-30 minutes or until mixture is golden brown, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from pan, add dried fruit (if you haven't already), and cool completely until crispy and crunchy. Store in an airtight container.

  1. Looks great Raven! I've been looking for a healthy granola recipe. Excited to try this. One question--how much oats do you use?
    Thanks!

  2. Teresa, I'm glad you caught the glitch in the recipe! I just updated it. It calls for 3 cups of uncooked rolled oats! I hope you enjoy it!
