The amazing clusters of this Raisin Cinnamon Granola are irresistibly delicious! And it’s surprisingly simple to make. So much better than store-bought!

You can serve it with milk or yogurt for a quick, healthy breakfast. Add some fresh berries and a splash of maple syrup and boom; you’ve created something out of this world delish!

Yum! I’ll never be buying granola from the store again. 😉

Honey or Maple Syrup?

I’ve used both and can say that your granola will be perfectly sweet and crunchy either way! However, if you use maple syrup, it will crumble easier than if you use honey. Not to worry, you will still get some nice clusters!

Raisin Cinnamon Granola

This is a must-make granola recipe! The raisins and cinnamon make this granola toasty and sweet. Just the thing for a healthy breakfast!

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 28 minutes Total Time: 38 minutes

Author: the Inspired Whisk

Yields: approx. 7 cups of granola

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups nuts, coarsely chopped*
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup honey*
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup raisins

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line an 11” x 17” baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Combine the oats, nuts, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3. Drizzle the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla over the dry ingredients. Stir very well until all the dry ingredients are completely coated. Pour onto your parchment-lined baking sheet and spread evenly into a 1-inch thick layer.
4. Bake for 25-28 minutes, until granola turns golden brown.
5.  Remove from the oven, sprinkle the raisins on top, and let the granola cool completely on the counter. (It will achieve that perfect crunchy crispness as it cools!)
6. Break the granola into pieces and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Notes

• I typically use almonds, but pecans or walnuts will work great, too. You can chop the nuts or I like to pulse them several times in the food processor to get them into much smaller pieces.
• Maple syrup will work in place of the honey if necessary.
• Enjoy this granola either by the handful or with milk or yogurt! It’s delicious with fresh berries as well!

Yields: approx. 7 cups of granola
