Healthiest Vanilla Cinnamon Granola

When a friend asked if I knew of a healthy oil-free granola recipe, I knew I had a new mission. I do something similar all the time as a fruit crumble topping, but I’d never tried it on its own. So voila my new and very scrumptious, uber healthy granola recipe! No oil, just sweet enough, super versatile, and comes together faster than you can say “Uuuuugh I am like sooo in the mood for granola right now!”

P.S. My three-year-old just asked for thirds.

This goes wonderfully with some fresh fruit and my vegan yogurt/sour cream!

Note that this recipe yields only about 2 cups, so you might want to double or triple it (on two baking sheets) if you want leftovers.
