How to Make Healthy Granola
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
- Toast the Sesame Seeds: Begin by toasting the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Keep an eye on them and stir frequently until they turn golden brown. Once done, transfer them to a separate dish and set aside.
- Toast the Almonds: In the same skillet, add the almonds. Toast them until pale golden color.
- Add Sunflower Seeds: Add sunflower seeds to the skillet without removing the almonds. Continue toasting the mixture until the sunflower seeds are golden brown.
- Introduce Cashews, Coconut, and Oats: Now, add the cashews, coconut, and oats to the skillet. Toast this mixture until the cashews have lightly browned. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
- Combine with Sesame Seeds and Honey: Return the toasted sesame seeds to the skillet and drizzle in the honey. Gently heat and stir the mixture, ensuring everything is beautifully coated with the honey. This step will create lovely clusters in your granola.
- Bake the Granola: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread the granola mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven until the granola becomes rich golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Drain and Cool: Once baked, line another sheet pan with parchment paper. Transfer the granola onto the parchment paper and cover it with additional towels. Allow the granola to cool completely.
- Break into Chunks: When the granola is completely cooled, break it into small, bite-sized chunks.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your homemade granola is now ready to be enjoyed!
