Ingredients
  • ▢ ⅓ cup honey
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (notes)
  • ▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ▢ 2 cups rolled oats (180g / 6.3oz)
  • ▢ ⅓ cup chopped almonds (45g / 1.6oz)

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: honey, oil, vanilla extract. Mix them really well.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients (except the cranberries). Mix well - this is easiest with your hands.
  4. Tip onto the prepared baking tray. Press it down into a thick layer.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, giving it a mix around and flattening out again halfway through.
  6. Add the cranberries and stir it around, then press down again.
  7. Bake a further 7-10 minutes until it is deep golden in colour.
  8. Remove from oven and let it cool at room temperature until completely cooled.
  9. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container for 4-6 weeks.

Notes

The secret to achieving perfectly crunchy granola clusters lies in the careful balance of honey and vegetable oil. The honey acts as a natural sweetener while providing moisture, while the oil helps create that desirable golden crust as it bakes, ensuring each bite is packed with crispy goodness.
