    Honey-Vanilla Granola Clusters

    Source of Recipe

    From "Pure Vanilla" by Shauna Sever

    Recipe Introduction

    "I'm a sucker for a great homemade granola. This one, with its ambrosial combination of honey and vanilla, is as good in a cereal bowl as it is eaten out of hand."

    List of Ingredients

    â—¦ 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
    â—¦ ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
    â—¦ ¼ cup mild clover honey
    â—¦ ¼ cup vegetable oil
    â—¦ 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
    â—¦ 3½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

    Recipe

    Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 325° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, brown sugar, honey, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add oats and stir to coat evenly. Spread mixture onto prepared sheet in an even layer.

    Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden and fragrant, stirring once or twice and rotating pan 180 degrees halfway through baking to prevent burning. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let granola cool on the sheet. Break granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.


    Makes about 4 cups



    • To get nice, big clusters, let the granola cool completely in one mass before breaking it into chunks.

    • If you like, add your favorite nuts and seeds during the last 5 minutes of baking. Try Mexican vanilla to play off the nutty, toasty flavors.
