How to Make Your Own Granola Clusters

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In one large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, kosher salt, and cinnamon.

Step 2

Once combined, add the fruit and nut combination which most appeals to you and your kids' taste.

Step 3

In a second smaller bowl, combine the honey, canola oil, and vanilla. Once thoroughly mixed, pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture. Then using your hands, mix the ingredients forming clusters of your desired size.

Step 4

Plop the clusters over the lined cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the clusters are light golden in color.

Step 5

Be sure to keep an eye on the clusters throughout their time in the oven as those that become a deeper golden will have a burnt flavor.

Step 6

Once light golden color is reached, allow the clusters to cool completely.

Step 7

Once cool, feel free to enjoy, but make sure to store all leftovers in an airtight container as they can go stale quickly if not properly stored.
