Simple Flaxseed Granola
This simple flaxseed granola packs a nutritional punch and pairs perfectly with my Cherry Muffins with Almond & Flaxseed! It is also delicious as-is or as a topper on yogurt and fresh fruit.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Rubber Spatula or Metal Spoon
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Old-Fashioned Oats 96g
- 2 Tbsp Flaxseeds 20g
- 1 ½ Tbsp Light or Dark Brown Sugar 18g
- ¼ Tsp Ground Cinnamon 0.5g
- ¼ Tsp Fine Sea Salt or Table Salt 1.5g
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Paste or Vanilla Extract 7g
- 1 Tbsp + 2 Tsp Honey 35g
- 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter 14g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F / 163°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add oats, flaxseeds, sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a medium mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Place the butter and honey in a small microwave-safe dish. Lightly cover and heat on medium power for 20 seconds at a time until the butter is melted. For stovetop: Melt the butter into the honey using a small saucepan over low heat.
- Pour the hot honey/butter over the oat mixture, and stir to combine. Spread the granola onto the parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes, then stir the granola, spread it into a single layer again on the pan, and bake for 10 more minutes. The granola will harden as it cools. Store in an airtight container for 5-7 days or use, once cooled, on my Cherry Muffins with Almond and Flaxseed.
