This Honey Nut Granola is everything a great granola should be: crisp, golden, and perfectly toasted, with an addictive crunch and a touch of sticky sweetness. If you are looking for an easy homemade granola recipe that delivers crunchy clusters and rich flavour, this simple oven bake is guaranteed to become your new morning staple.
The secret to this crunchy honey nut granola is the slow bake. Whole oats and mixed nuts toast up to a deep, golden perfection, balancing the warm sweet, honey with an earthy, roasted nuttiness. The honey binds the oats into irresistible, chewy clusters, while the slow roasting keeps the granola extra crispy, meaning it holds its crunch even when served in a bowl of milk or thick yogurt.
My favourite way to enjoy this homemade granola, other than by the handful, is simply with milk or yogurt. Effortless to prep in one big batch, it’s the ideal recipe for busy weekdays while still bringing the comforting vibe of a slow morning.

Ingredients

  • 320g oats
  • 150g nuts, roughly chopped or seeds, I used a mix of almonds, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 90g coconut oil, or sunflower oil
  • 150g honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C, line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Mix oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and spices.
  3. Optional: toast the oat mixture in the oven for 5-10 minutes to start the toasting.
  4. Add oil, honey/maple syrup and vanilla to the oat mixture.
  5. Mix until well combined until oats and nuts are all coated.
  6. Pour onto prepared tray and spread to the thickness of liking; the thinner the crunchier it will be.
