Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats (certified gluten free, if needed)
- 1½ cups sliced almonds (sub sunflower or pumpkin seeds for nut free)

- ¼ cup oil (melted if using coconut oil)
- ¼ cup honey (sub agave nectar or maple syrup for strictly vegan)

- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300ºF and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Put the oil, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Spread the granola in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes and stir. Bake for 15 more minutes, and stir. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
