Homemade Cinnamon Honey Nut Granola makes a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. It is so much better than store-bought granola, and less expensive too! Making your own granola is also super quick and easy.
Cinnamon Honey Nut Granola is filled with protein, nutrients, and antioxidants. It is all-natural, sweetened with honey, heart-healthy, and vegan. Granola is a great energy booster and makes a tasty on-the-go snack. You can eat it by itself or you can add it to so many things for a healthy, flavorful crunch like my Berry Vanilla Yogurt Parfait or a super yummy Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl.
This granola is great to take to work and perfect for kids’ school lunches since it keeps well and they love it… I know my kid certainly does! Speaking of kids, this recipe is a fun and easy recipe for kids to help make. My daughter helped make this one and was very proud and excited to share it with her friends. That’s the stuff that makes me smile. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

How to make Cinnamon Honey Nut Granola
First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir to combine the chopped almonds and dry oats. In a separate bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the oats and almonds and stir until the oats are moist.
Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan until it reaches room temperature. Once cooled, transfer to a bowl and serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
If you have some extra oats, try making some Healthy Oatmeal Muffins!

Toasted fine and tastes so good without cane sugar or other garbage added to store-bought granola.
Thank you, Heather! I totally agree, healthy homemade granola is so much better than store-bought.
Great recipe. Easy to follow. I didn’t have vanilla so I used almond extract. My granola was so yummy! Thank you
Thank you, Deanna, for the compliment! I am glad that you enjoyed the granola!
Would like to try this recipe, but don’t have peanut oil. Can I use coconut oil instead?
Yes, you can use coconut oil, it is a great alternative!
