Granola

I like to make my own granola! It has less ingredients than many. I usually don’t add dried fruit because I like to eat it with fresh fruit and vegan yogurt. If you want to add, I’ve seen recipes where the dried fruit can be added during the last 20 minutes of baking.

• 3 ¾ cups rolled oats

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine oats, almonds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. (Coconut is optional)
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla extract. Fold sugar into egg whites. Fold egg whites into the oat mixture. Spread on the prepared baking sheet.
