Behind The Label

I always dreamed of being the person casually snacking on trail mix, eating yogurt with granola, or digging into a blueberry parfait without a second thought. But every time I picked up a bag of granola, I was met with that all-too-familiar line: CONTAINS NUTS. It felt like something so simple was off-limits. But not anymore. Today, granola can finally be a part of the nut-free life and if not better than the typical granola!!!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 8 tablespoons salted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 1/2 cups rolled oats

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Add honey, brown sugar, and butter to a pot and heat over medium heat untill butter has melted and sugar dissolved – about 5 minutes then remove from heat
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt into the melted honey-butter mixture
4. Add the oats into the honey mixture and stir together untill no dry patches of oat remain
5. Pour he granola mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly accross the pan
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes untill the granola is lightly golden brown on the edges
7. Let the granola cool for about 30 minutes then break into pieces of your desired size with your hands
8. Once fully cooled store inside an airtight container

I personally love to pair my granola with chobani strawberry yogurt.

ENJOY!!!
