Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe adapted from my honey almond granola and cranberry orange granola.
Make it gluten free:
Use certified gluten-free oats.
Make it vegan:
Substitute maple syrup for the honey.
Make it nut free:
Substitute pepitas for the almonds.
Change it up:
You can use other dried fruit (chopped if large) for the raisins. Dried apricots or cherries would be really nice here. You can also change up the nuts; pecans are great.
Recommended equipment:
A Microplane is the perfect tool for removing zest from citrus, and you’ll get the most reliable baking results in a proper half sheet pan.
