Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup golden raisins
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and stir to combine. Let cook until the sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Combine the oats and almonds in a large bowl. Add the butter mixture and toss well to coat. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then stir in the raisins. Bake until crisp and golden brown all over, another 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. The granola will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Cook’s Note
If you prefer the raisins to be less chewy, they can be added after the granola is fully cooked.
