Granola

• servings: 6 cups
• active time: 25
• total time: 30

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned oats, or gluten-free oats

1½ cups chopped nuts or seeds, such as pecans, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, or pepitas

½ cup canola oil

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg white, whisked

1 cup dried cranberries or raisins

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2 Spread out the oats and nuts on a rimmed baking sheet.

3 In a large measuring cup, whisk together the oil, sea salt, sugar, and egg white. Pour this over the oats and nuts, and use your hands to mix thoroughly. Flatten the oats with your hands, packing the mixture down gently onto the baking sheet.

4 Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the granola over with a metal spatula, and pat down again. Bake for another 10 minutes. Flip the granola again, trying not to break up the larger pieces. Bake for another 5 minutes.

5 Allow to cool completely, then add the cranberies. Store in a container.
