House Granola

I sold this granola - House Granola - for years at the farmer's market in Oxford, MS. The recipe was born during the boredom of covid lockdown. I did a lot of experimenting and finally found the perfect combination of salty and sweet. I have always loved how the olive oil base gives it a nice earthy flavor and compliments the cinnamon and cardamom.
I am no longer a MS resident or a farmer's market vendor, but I wanted to share the recipe for my former customers and friends who love House Granola. The secret it out!
I make note in the recipe but emphasizing again here - Any oil can be used in this recipe, really, but I love the olive oil flavor. Since olive oil is liquid at room temperature, the granola tends to be on the "chewier" side. When I'm craving a crunchier granola, I use half coconut oil and half olive oil.
These are both oils with a low smoking point, so a low oven temperature is key in being sure that the granola doesn't burn around the edges. Otherwise, this recipe is hard to mess up and can be customized to your liking.

Variations
Swap out the olive oil for coconut oil - this will make it a crunchier granola. Sometimes I even go [1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup coconut oil].
2
Serving Suggestions
Serve with yogurt, milk, or on its own as a crunchy snack.
3
Dried Fruit
I like the 50% less sugar Craisins.
Notes
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract.
4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are evenly coated.
5
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake for 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
7
Remove from oven and immediately stir in the dried fruit. This will make sure it sticks to the oats and distributes evenly among the granola.
8
Allow granola to cool completely, as it will become crunchy as it cools. Store in an airtight container.
