Orange &amp; Almond Granola

orange

sugar

oats

almonds

cinnamon

extra-virgin olive oil coconut oil

honey

vanilla extract

raisins, preferably golden

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine the orange zest and sugar. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until it’s bright orange and very fragrant. This step will ensure that your granola is infused with orange flavor.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, salt, cinnamon and orange sugar. Stir to combine. Pour in the olive oil, honey and vanilla, and mix well.

Pour the granola onto your prepared baking sheet. Spread the granola into an even layer. Bake for 19 to 23 minutes, stirring halfway, until the granola is turning lightly golden in color. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Let the granola cool before stirring in the raisins and breaking up the granola into chunks as necessary. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or keep it in the freezer for longer shelf life.

Granola with healthy stuff. keep sharing.

Love this granola. Very easy to make. The vibrant orange flavour makes this granola very special. Lovely with fruit and Greek yogurt.

Wow! I thought your Favorite Granola recipe would always be my favorite, but I have to say, this one has it beat! The orange flavor is just an incredible combination with the crunchy almonds and golden raisins! Love the sugar trick to infuse every bite with the orange flavor. Amazing! Thank you!

Great Recipe!
My daughters loved tasting the citrus sugar bowl. It was very fragrant and easy to make. When mixing the granola I found it didn't always bind and there were more loose oats than bunches, so i was puzzled by that even though i carefully mixed it for a few minutes. Also, it was important not to bake too long as that could lead to a loss of the citrus aroma as it could easily burn.

Cheers!

I'm eating this for breakfast right now with Greek yogurt, and it's delicious! The orange flavor is strong and so refreshing on this grey winter day.

What a delicious and easy- to- make granola! 
It's especially nice during the cold, long winter here!
Thanks so much!

This might be my favorite granola ever! Love the different spin with the citrus. Delicious!

I love this - and so does everyone else that's tried it. My daughter just moved away for university and I'm still having to send out batches to her - and she doesn't like almonds normally. The orange/almond/vanilla ratios are perfect. Thank you
I do love everything I've tried from your website

I've made Kate's granola recipes from her cookbook and website and this one ROCKS! Soooooo good! I love how Kate gives you options to use what you have in your pantry (I used both honey and maple syrup). Thanks Kate for another fantastic recipe!

Well, I LOVE cereal but don't buy even the "natural" cereals at the health food store since the second ingredient is usually sugar.  I altered this recipe a little bit but I absolutely LOVE it and put it in a bowl with banana slices and some organic unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it was the best.  Instead of the sugar, I used raw organic Glory Bee honey.  It mixed in just fine!  Then I used roasted salted whole almonds.  Also I used half and half olive oil/coconut oil. It did take longer to toast, so I cranked it to 375 and chose "convection" and it finished toasting.  But... It is AMAZING. That toasty, orange goodness is wonderful.  I love your recipes and your site!

I've been making my own granola for over 30 years but I never thought about using orange zest.  This granola is so fragrant and has the perfect texture.  And that tablespoon of vanilla... yum!

Hi ma’am it’s delicious but 1query is that how can we make in bars plz reply it’s urgent thanks in advance

This granola is amazing! I made a batch last night and I've already eaten half of it. My family would hardly let me pour it off the baking sheet into a container to take back to college with me. 
The only orange we had was quite old so I wasn't able to get too much zest off it, but even without it, it still tastes wonderful! Plus, it probably costs a dollar to make and you'd pay $6 in the store for something not even comparable in taste! Definitely a keeper, thank you!

Hi Kate, I love your recipes and have made many of them.  I just made a big batch of the orange almond granola.  Unfortunately, the orange flavour is so weak that I don’t think it was worth the work of grating all those oranges.  I even added orange flavouring to help boost the flavour without much success.  I think I will just stick to your basic granola recipe.  Everyone loves that.  I think a bag of it would make awesome Christmas gifts for neighbors!

This is the best granola recipe I have ever made.  I love the orange flavor!!

Really easy recipe. Smells delicious in the oven. I made my on fan bake and slightly over baked it so my bad, still very edible but lesson learnt! Find it quite salty for my taste so I would only put a quarter tsp in next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I'm a lover of all your recipes, and this one is absolutely delicious. The only modification I had to make was to the cooking time. My granola required about 30-35 minutes to crisp.

Wow!! I had my doubts because I've never made granola before and I halved it for that reason. It came out fantastic! I had no almonds but had pecans and cashews so in they went. This will be my go to granola recipe. The zest makes it bright and fresh.

This was so wonderful! Perfect over vanilla yogurt with winter citrus! Thank you!
