Ingredients

Mix Together:

  • 5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Then Add:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chocolate chips, brown sugar, and salt.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, gently heat butter until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the water and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread and Bake: Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes, stirring halfway through, pressing the chocolate into the oats to make chocolate clusters. Bake until nutty and golden brown. (Be careful not to stir too much so you can get chocolate clusters!)

  7. Store: Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Tips for the Best Granola

  • Clumpier Granola: Press the mixture down firmly on the baking sheet before baking to encourage clumps.
  • Chocolatey-er Granola: Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips after stirring halfway through baking.
  • Mix-Ins: Add dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates after the granola has cooled.
  • Sweetness: Adjust to add honey or maple syrup based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Chocolate Variation: Swap mini chocolate chips for M&M for a pop of color.
