Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans) – optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts if using, and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Melt the Butter and Sweetener: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter (or coconut oil) together with the honey or maple syrup until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to coat all the oats and nuts thoroughly with the sweet buttery binding.
  5. Bake the Granola: Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely so the granola turns golden but does not burn.
  6. Add Marshmallows and Chocolate: Remove the granola from the oven and sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chunks evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the marshmallows soften slightly but still hold their shape.
  7. Cool and Store: Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools. Once cooled, break it into clusters and store in an airtight container for freshness.

Notes

  • Stir wet ingredients thoroughly into dry for an even coating and crunchy texture.
  • Watch baking time carefully to achieve perfectly toasted oats without burning.
  • Add marshmallows near the end to avoid burning or excessive crispiness.
  • Press granola gently on the baking sheet before baking to encourage chunky clusters.
  • Store granola in a cool, airtight container to keep marshmallows from getting sticky and maintain freshness.
