Originally posted October 4, 2013

Today I’m bringing back an oldie but a goodie! I posted this recipe for chewy almond granola about 9 years ago and it definitely deserves a change to be showcased again.

Back when my son Zach was in high school, he came home one day and threw a small Ziploc bag on the counter. It was filled with a chewy almond granola he’d made in his food class.

In case I’ve never mentioned it, I love granola, so I immediately snatched up that bag of granola and tasted it. I was blown away at how good it was. Who knew that a recipe this good could come from a high school foods class?!

If I remember right I ate the entire bag.  I couldn’t believe how delicious it was.  It wasn’t your typical crunchy granola. It was soft, chewy and perfectly sweet.

So, so good!

Lineup of ingredients:

  • canola oil
  • old fashioned oats
  • butter
  • honey
  • brown sugar
  • sliced almonds
  • craisins

I’ve had a hankering for it the last few days so I threw a batch together the other day.  This chewy almond granola is so simple and super fast to make. You are literally done making it in about 10 minutes. This makes a great snack for your kids to eat after school.  

Also, this chewy almond granola makes a great Christmas gift for neighbors. It always gets rave reviews when I give it out. Just toss some in a cellophane bag and tie a ribbon around it. . . who wouldn’t love to get a bag of delicious granola? You could even attach a card with the recipe on it.

You could easily swap out the almonds for a different nut, but the almonds are so good in it. Also, you could toss in some coconut or mini chocolate chips, raisins instead of craisins. It’s your call.

You’re going to love this!

Notes

  • This recipe doesn’t make a ton, so I always double it.
  • Feel free to add in anything you want. I think coconut would be absolutely delicious in this, in fact I can’t believe I didn’t add any in.  You really can throw in whatever you would like, it’s completely up to your taste buds. . . Craisins, coconut, dried cherries, raisins, chocolate chips, etc.

    Hi Jodi. Could you toast nuts with the oats so they are not added raw at the end?
