Easy and cheap granola

I wanted easy and cheap granola. I looked at lots of different recipes. I wanted crunchy. I wanted chunky. I wanted something that would not be too sweet.

Over the past two weeks (in preparation for Purim) I've made over 12 batches of granola. I'd like to share with you my final recipe.
  • 1 C oats
  • 1 1/2 C instant oatmeal oats (the fine cut ones)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (you can use more if you'd like)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 egg white, well beaten
  • 1/3 C almonds, rough chopped
  • 1/4 C raisins
  1. Heat the oven to 350F. Cover a 9x13 pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl mix everything but the nuts and raisins. Spread it out on the parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Add the nuts and stir the mix with a spatula to incorporate the nuts. This is where you decide what size chunks you want. Turn the oven down to 325F and put the tray back in for 15 mins.
  4. Add the raisins, stir again and put the tray back in for 5 mins. Let it cool and then pour in to a container.
That's it. It is a super flexible recipe. The only measurement I am exact about is the salt. Other than that you can change just about anything. You can toast it longer if you want but just add the raisins later. Stir more or stir less. Add coconut. Do whatever. Have fun!

Total time 35mins
Update: It's now three days later and I made a batch of granola according to my own recipe. It works! It is crunchy and not too sweet and has flavor. Cool!
