This is the easiest granola recipe ever. It only requires six nutritious pantry ingredients that you simply stir together before baking in the oven. After just thirty minutes, out comes absolutely irresistibly delicious and addictive granola. It is salty, sweet, and perfectly golden brown. I love to sprinkle it on smoothies, yogurt and chia seed pudding or eat it plain by the handful! It is also delicious with homemade plant milk and fresh blueberries. This recipe is vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free.

Steps
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients well. Transfer the mixture to the lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer using a spatula.
Bake for 30 minutes tossing halfway through.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying (at least 15 minutes). Once cooled, granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Marta on 2022-01-16 (5 stars): I made this last night—so quick, easy, and delicious! My 3.5 year old was previously uninterested in store bought granola but she was excited by the smell as this was baking and after she tried it, she kept coming into the kitchen to “sneak” more. My husband and I love it too. We’ll definitely be making it again. Thanks for the great recipe!
