Cinnamon Sugar Granola
The grown-up version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch! This Easy Cinnamon Sugar Granola has big crunchy clusters, cozy cinnamon flavor, and is naturally sweetened with banana and honey.
Servings: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1½ cups oats, any type of oats will work
- ¼ cup nut butter of choice cashew, peanut or almond butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ to 1 banana, mashed
- ½ cup nuts or seeds of choice (crushed walnuts, sliced almonds, hemp seeds, flax seed etc.)
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt to taste
Optional (for more flavor):
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts/seeds, nut butter, honey, cinnamon, mashed banana, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Evenly spread and press the granola onto a prepared baking sheet in one large, even piece, about ¼ inch thick. Pressing it firmly into a single slab (rather than scattering loosely) is what creates the big, chunky clusters.
- If using: combine the optional brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle half of the mixture over the top of the granola before baking.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely, undisturbed, for at least 1 hour to allow the granola to harden.
- Once fully cooled, break into pieces (bigger chunks are best), toss with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture, and store.
