Step 1

Heat oven to 300 degrees F.  Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.  Move the center rack up a level so it's on the second level from the top.

Step 2

Mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until combined. In a small, separate bowl, stir the melted butter, honey, vanilla and egg white together, then drizzle over the oat mixture, stirring together until well-combined.

Step 3

Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out in an even layer.  If you want large chunks of granola, flatten into an even layer with a spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact.  Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through for even toasting, until golden and crispy and the almonds look lightly toasted.

Step 4

Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature.
