My Maple Cinnamon Granola, is a pantry must have. With only 5 ingredients it is easy to make and tastes great on just about anything!
One of my favorite blog recipes is my homemade granola that I made a couple years back. I make a batch almost monthly and keep it in my pantry to top my yogurt in the morning. You may also find me sneaking a bite when I’m cooking in the kitchen #rdconfessions !
I recently got myself a big container of maple syrup when I was up in VT for Blog Brulee and have been using it to bake with instead of sugar or brown sugar. It’s just so yummy!! So I decided to make a few changes to my original granola recipe (and update my pics!) to bring you this even yummier Maple Cinnamon Granola. 
The recipe is quick simple. Add dry ingredients together, wet ingredients together then combine. Spread out on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes, stir then bake for another 7 minutes. Let sit to cool and harden, then enjoy!
Try it on yogurt, overnight oats, applesauce, or ice cream. Or mix into baked goods or trail mix. The options are endless!
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine oats, cinnamon and salt.
- In a small bowl combine maple syrup, vegetable oil and vanilla.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir.
- Spread mixture onto large cookie sheet (preferably one with sides)
- Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Stir mixture then bake for another 5-10 minutes, until oats are golden brown.
- Remove granola from oven and let cool on pan to allow granola to harden and create clusters.
- Once harden remove from pan and store in air tight container.
