Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • zest from 1 & 1/2 oranges
  • juice of 1 orange (you can use one of the oranges that you zest)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups whole/steel oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Mix.
  • Add in the oats and stir to coat the oats.
  • Add in the chopped pecans, and mix again.
  • Spread the granola on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the granola is spread out as much as possible. I find that a cookie sheet with edges is best to keep the granola on the pan.
  • Bake for 8 minutes.
  • Allow the granola to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
  • Pour the granola in a large air tight container, add the dried cranberries, shake the container with the lid on to mix.
