Makes: 6 ½ cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- ½ cup wheat germ
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ Tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 large egg white (see note)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together oats, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, wheat germ, and walnuts.
- In a separate bowl, stir together maple syrup, canola oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt
- Place egg white in a small bowl and whisk it for about 30 seconds, until frothy. Stir into maple syrup mixture and then pour into bowl with oats. Stir to coat completely dry ingredients.
- Evenly spread oat mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through cooking time, until granola is golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest until completely cooled (don't stir it!). Once cooled, you can break up with hands and store in airtight containers.
Notes
- The egg white in this recipe helps bind the granola together and create "clumps." If you want to keep this granola vegan/vegetarian, you can omit the egg white, but your granola may be a bit looser and won't clump up as well.
