Cinnamon Almond Granola

Perfect for breakfast or as a snack.

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup dried grapes (raisins)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix well.
3. In a small saucepan, warm the honey and olive oil over low heat until well combined. Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
4. Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Make sure to stir the granola every 10 minutes to ensure even baking.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely. It will become crunchy as it cools.
7. Once the granola has cooled, stir in the dried grapes (raisins) as an extra touch of sweetness.
8. Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
