Cinnamon Raisin Granola

Are you ready to start your day with a burst of warmth and flavor? Look no further than my Cinnamon Raisin Granola recipe, a homemade creation that promises to change your mornings and invigorate your senses.

If there’s one ingredient that can instantly transport us to a cozy and comforting atmosphere, it’s cinnamon. This humble spice has the remarkable ability to infuse any dish with a symphony of flavors that soothe the soul.

When I reached out to my wonderful community and asked for your input on the next granola flavor, the response was clear: Cinnamon Raisin. I couldn’t have been happier with the choice. Cinnamon holds a special place in my heart, as it’s one of those pantry staples that effortlessly transforms ordinary dishes into extraordinary experiences.

Now, let’s talk about this glorious cinnamon raisin granola.

The recipe combines the nutty goodness of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cashews, and walnuts with the chewy sweetness of raisins. The gluten-free oats combined with the coconut adds the necessary depth and texture.

To create a granola that truly embodies the essence of cinnamon, I incorporate it both into the dry mixture and the binding liquid. This double infusion guarantees that every bite is delightful and as warm and cozy as possible! As the granola bakes, your kitchen will be filled with an intoxicating aroma that’s practically synonymous with comfort.

The process is simple and rewarding. After combining the dry ingredients and whisking together a fragrant mixture of olive oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, and cinnamon, you’ll spread the mixture onto baking sheets. Press it down gently to create clusters that will become your crispy treasures. In the oven, the granola transforms from a collection of ingredients to a symphony of flavors and textures.

Remember, patience is key. As tempting as it may be to dive in as soon as the granola comes out of the oven, allow it to cool completely on the baking sheets. This ensures that those coveted clusters develop.
