Description

Crunchy homemade granola featuring sweet white chocolate chips and tart dried raspberries. This versatile and delicious granola is perfect for breakfast, snacking, or as a topping for yogurt and smoothie bowls, combining wholesome oats and nuts with a hint of vanilla and natural sweetness.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or cashews)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup dried raspberries
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and a pinch of salt, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to make sure every oat and nut piece is coated with the honey and oil mixture.
  5. Spread and bake: Evenly spread the granola mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
  6. Cool completely: Once baked, remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool fully on the baking sheet. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect crunch.
  7. Add dried raspberries and white chocolate chips: After the granola has cooled, gently fold in the dried raspberries and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  8. Store properly: Transfer the finished granola into an airtight container to maintain freshness and enjoy it over several days.

Notes

  • Add white chocolate chips only after the granola cools to prevent melting and clumping.
  • Freeze-dried raspberries can be substituted for dried raspberries to add an extra crunchy texture.
  • Nut varieties such as almonds or cashews can be used based on personal preference or dietary restrictions.
  • This granola can be eaten plain, with milk, or sprinkled over yogurt and smoothie bowls for added flavor and texture.
