Ingredients

Scale

Granola Base

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup honey

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/4 cup colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Oats and Honey: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and honey, stirring well to ensure all oats are lightly coated for even baking.
  3. Bake the Granola: Spread the oat and honey mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure uniform browning and prevent burning, until the granola is crisp and golden.
  4. Cool the Granola: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely; it will crisp up further as it cools.
  5. Add Chocolate and Sprinkles: Once cooled, transfer the granola to a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles, distributing them evenly to create festive clusters.
  6. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to preserve freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Add nuts or dried fruits if you want extra texture and nutrition.
  • Be careful not to overbake the granola to avoid a burnt taste and maintain crunchy clusters.
  • White chocolate may melt if mixed while the granola is still warm, so ensure it is fully cooled.
