Laurent Tourondel's Favorite Granola
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened cornflakes
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Finely grated zest of 2 oranges
- 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, cornflakes, steel-cut oats, almonds, salt and cinnamon.
- Mix until well combined.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, maple syrup, canola oil, orange zest and split vanilla beans and their pulp.
- Place over medium heat and boil for 1 minute.
- Discard vanilla beans, and pour hot liquid over dry ingredients.
- Using a rubber spatula, mix until well combined.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread evenly with the granola.
- Bake until golden brown and evenly toasted, tossing about halfway through, 10 to 20 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven and place on a rack to cool; mixture will be soft and sticky while hot, but will dry and become crisp as it cools.
- When granola is completely cool and dry, break into bite-size pieces.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
