Chai Spiced Granola
Chelsea Colbath
A crunchy, cluster-filled granola that's loaded with chai spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger!
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups nuts of choice I used pecans and coconut flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Put all ingredients into a large bowl and mix well to combine. Pour granola mixture onto lined pan and spread out into an even layer.
3. Bake for 25 minutes, or until granola is golden. Do not stir at all while cooking. Let granola cool completely, then use a spatula or your hands to break up into large clusters.
4. Granola can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks (I've had it last as long as a few months, but it tastes best within the first few weeks of making).
