<\/div>\n
Directions<\/div>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Place an oven rack in the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 250 degrees F.<\/div>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Line a large rimmed rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Place the oats, almonds, cashews, walnuts, seeds, dried fruits (if adding) and spices in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.<\/div>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Heat the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter melts. Stir in sea salt and vanilla.<\/div>\n
5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Remove from the heat.\u00a0 Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dry ingredients are evenly moist.<\/div>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Store in plastic bags or air tight container at room temperature. The granola will keep at the height of its texture and flavor for 2 weeks. Serve with dried or fresh fruit and milk or yogurt, or eat out of hand. Makes about 3 pounds.<\/div>\n
