Equipment

Baking sheet
Fork
Large bowl
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Medium bowl

Ingredients

4 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons canola oil
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
4 Tablespoons sliced or chopped almonds
Non-stick cooking spray
½ cup dried fruit raisins, cranberries, apricots, dates, or prunes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, add honey, oil, and cinnamon. Whisk with a fork.
Add oats and almonds. Stir until well-coated with honey mixture.
Coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Spread oat mixture evenly onto sheet.
Bake until lightly browned, about 10–15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to cook evenly. Watch closely to be sure granola does not burn. Remove from oven. Let cool completely.
Transfer cooled granola to a medium bowl. Stir in dried fruit.

Notes

Make large batches. Granola can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Add milk to granola and eat like cereal. Use it to top a fruit salad or nonfat plain yogurt. Or, pack single servings in a zip-top plastic bag. Eat on its own for a tasty afternoon snack.
Use homemade granola in the Yogurt Parfait recipe.
Use leftover rolled oats to make oatmeal for breakfast. Or, use in Rolled Oats and Peanut Butter Cookies.
