  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar

  • In a measuring cup measure ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup avocado oil, and 2 tsp vanilla extract - stir to blend. Add to dry ingredients.
  • Add ½ cup honey and stir well, pressing down on the oats with a rubber spatula to make sure that all oats are evenly covered.
  • Pour granola onto the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread the mixture.
  • For Clumpy Granola : Lightly oil your hands (or use a rubber spatula) and press the granola down to help the oats stick together. Bake undisturbed for 20 min. Remove from oven and let cool 30 min. Break into clusters or cut into bars.
