I’ve been making crunchy nut granola for a long time now, and over the years I think I have perfected the recipe we use. This granola is crunchy, with a hint of cinnamon and honey, and chockfull of nuts. We like it best served with a creamy and thick Greek or Bulgarian yoghurt, and we add our own topping according to our personal taste. So dried fruits, roasted coconut flakes, fresh fruits and/or berries (or fruit compotes) are served on the table separately.
Making crunchy nut granola is something that I usually do on a Sunday morning, so we have a fresh batch ready for the week to come. I love the smell of cinnamon and roasted nuts in the house!
Line an oven tray with paper. Preheat the oven to 140ºC (280F). Combine all dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well! Evenly spread the mixture out on the paper lined tray and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. There’s no need to touch it during the baking! After 45 minutes turn off the heat and let the granola cool in the oven.
Break up and store in an airtight container, and serve with your choice of toppings.
Enjoy!

This sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing! I can already smell the amazing aroma of the cinnamon and roasted nuts. Would you recommend a substitution for egg whites to make it vegan?
Hi Jodi, yes it really is such a nice recipe! And I’m so sorry but I don’t know about a substitute for the egg white — but you can always make it without! It will still be delicious!! Enjoy! x
Thank you so very much for sharing. I have tried so many variations and yours has been a winner in our house all around. Cheers!
Yay! I’m so glad you like it!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have my first batch cooling in the oven now. It smells delightful. I am already looking forward to breakfast tomorrow.
Bon appetit! 🙂
This is such a lovely recipe. I make it nearly every week. I love that it is always a little different depending what I put in. Thank you so much for sharing.
