Ingredients
- 2 cup Rolled oats old fashioned
- 1/4 cup Pecans
- 2 tbsp Sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Oil unflavored
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- In a wide pan, dry roast the oats, pecans, almond slices, pumpkin seeds, and salt on medium low heat for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- In the same pan, combine honey and oil together. Let the mixture cook for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat until it becomes bubbly.
- Transfer the roasted ingredients in the honey mixture and mix them until they are coated well.
- On medium low heat, roast the oats mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Next, stir the mixture well, spread it evenly on the pan, and roast it without stirring for 3 minutes on low heat.
- Remove it from the heat and combine the raisins with the granola. Press the mixture with the back of a spatula to the pan.
- Let the granola sit in the pan for 10-15 minutes to achieve larger chunks.
- Break the granola with your hands and transfer them to the container. Do not seal the container until the granola is completely dry.
Notes
- Old fashioned rolled oats work best for this recipe to get perfectly roasted crispy granola.
- Roasting the oats with some salt helps them crisp and takes out the moisture from them.
- Use a wide non-stick or a steel pan for making stovetop granola recipes.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey to make it a vegan recipe.
- Use peanut butter or almond butter instead of oil while making stovetop granola.
- Any type of unflavored oil can be used for this recipe - canola, vegetable oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, or coconut oil for making granola.
