Hot Honey Granola
Looking for a healthy snack but can’t decide between sweet and savory? Like a little kick of spice? Then this Hot Honey Granola is the perfect choice for you! Your favorite nuts and seeds are mixed with oats, hot honey, and a little bit of olive oil and baked until the nuts are roasted and the honey binds everything together. A great snack for on the go or when you need a little energy pick-me-up.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
For this granola, you’ll need the following dry ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup of your choice of nuts (I used almonds, cashews, and walnuts), roughly chopped
1/4 cup of your choice of seeds (I used pumpkin seeds)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Mix together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the Wet Ingredients
Drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/3 cup hot honey (I used Mike’s Hot Honey brand) over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Bake the Granola
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the granola mixture in an even layer over the parchment, making sure there are no big gaps.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Stir the mixture and spread it out again. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the nuts have roasted and there is no noticeable liquid in the pan.
Allow the granola to cool completely in the pan. Then break it up into your desired sized pieces and enjoy!
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
