Yesterday, I was in the mood to do some baking so I searched my pantry for some ingredients and realized I had everything I needed to make Baked’s Granola! Baked NYC is a bakery in Brooklyn that makes the best desserts in the world – their brownies, cupcakes and pies are all pretty amazing. This granola recipe is *SUPER* unhealthy (so much sugar and honey!) but it’s also really delicious and a great topping on Greek yogurt.

Baked NYC’s House Blend Granola Recipe

2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole almonds
1/3 cup whole hazelnuts
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup dried cherries

(I didn’t add some of the dried fruit because I really dislike everything except dried cherries, but the proportions are what you should be looking for! I also added milled flax seeds and used flax seed oil to make it a little less guilty, but it’s still pretty sweet and shouldn’t be eaten everyday if you’re looking to be healthy)

The recipe is super simple – just mix your oats, cinnamon and salt:

And in another bowl, mix together the honey, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla:

Mix the oil/honey mixture until it’s completely combined and then add it to the dry oat mixture. Clump the mixture together with your hands until all of the oats are properly coated. Place the oat mixture on a cookie sheet.

In a 325 degree pre-heated oven, place the oats in for 10 minutes:

Remove the cookie sheet, flip over the granola and add your almonds:

Bake for another 5 minutes and add your hazelnuts (I didn’t add hazelnuts but took it out of the oven to flip the granola again). Place it back into the oven for another 10 minutes and then you can remove the granola. Once it has fully cooled, add your dried fruit and transfer to an air tight container. I added it to my Fage yogurt (and now I don’t need to add any additional honey because I know it’s all in this granola!)
