Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole almonds (or use your favorite nut)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries (or use your preferred dried fruit)
  • 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed optional
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup oil (may use avocado, canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar firmly packed (may substitute an equal amount of coconut sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg white

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 275F (135C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, almonds, cranberries, and flax seed (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined and uniform.
  4. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk egg white until frothy (about 30 seconds) then stir the egg white into the honey mixture.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a spatula to stir well until all dry ingredients are completely coated with the honey mixture.
  6. Evenly spread ingredients over prepared baking sheet. Transfer to 275F (135C) preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. Granola should have slightly darkened in color and should appear dry.
  7. Remove from oven allow to sit undisturbed until completely cooled.
  8. Once granola has cooled, use your hands or a wooden spoon to break up into pieces. Use as desired.
