ONE PAN GRANOLA
Anyone else pro-one pan recipes? Some call it lazy, I call it efficiency. We meal prep this granola almost every week as a crunchy topping for morning yogurt, chia pudding, or smoothie bowls.
Oats are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. High in fiber, antioxidants, and a host of other vitamisn, they also help to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
A nonstick pan, low oven temperature and frequent stirring are the key to this low-oil recipe. I check the oven about three to four times, to ensure that the oats are clumping together properly.
Pro Tip: Add the finer ingredients like coconut, flax, and hemp at the very end of the cooking process to avoid burning.
Total time: 40 mins, active prep time: 10 mins; yields 3 cups of granola
