Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cashew butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • White chocolate chips (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cashew butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all oats and nuts are fully coated with the cinnamon maple mixture.
  5. Spread and Press: Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, approximately 1/4-inch, single layer. Press down firmly with a spatula to compact the mixture, which will help it cluster when baked.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the granola turns lightly golden, indicating it is crisping up.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely for about 1 hour. This step is crucial as it allows the clusters to harden and become crispy.
  8. Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled granola clusters. Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
  9. Break into Clusters and Store: Once the white chocolate is firm, break the granola into clusters. Store in an airtight container or mason jars to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use any nut butter of your choice, such as almond or peanut butter, to customize the flavor.
  • Ensure granola cools completely to achieve the best crispy texture.
  • White chocolate drizzle is optional for a dairy-free version, use vegan white chocolate or omit it entirely.
  • Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity for desired sweetness.
