Step 2: Add the brown sugar, honey, vanilla, melted butter and salt to a large bowl and mix it together.
Step 3: Add the oats and nuts and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Pour the granola onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

Notes
- Be sure to use old fashioned oats, not quick oats.
- Make sure to use parchment paper to prevent the granola from sticking to the pan. I forgot to use it while documenting this recipe and it wasn’t pretty!
- If you want granola clusters, use a small sheet pan so the granola is baked in a thick layer. Once the granola is cooled, break up large chunks of granola to create the clusters.
- If you don’t want granola clusters, use a large sheet pan and spread the granola out in a thin layer.
- If you want to add dried fruit, seeds or coconut to the granola, mix it in once the granola has cooled.
- Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
