This Skillet Fruit & Nut Granola recipe is inspired by California Almond’s Gluten-Free Skillet Almond Granola recipe that I had at Blog Brûlée a couple of years ago. I had every intention of blogging this right after my trip and well…..life…., so here I am FINALLY sharing this amazing recipe. I went back for seconds when they served this over Siggi’s plain Skyr yogurt, it’s so incredibly DELICIOUS!! Not to mention, it takes less than 10 minutes to make.
I just switched up a few things to work with ingredients that I had on hand. This recipe is so simple and the flavors mingle beautifully together. You can get really creative with this granola recipe and use your favorite dried fruits, nuts and seeds to make it your own. This Skillet Fruit & Nut Granola makes a nutritious and filling breakfast or snack.
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup

It would be nice to know; how many servings the recipe yields and the nutritional analysis for each serving. These are two bits of information I look for whenever I read a new recipe. Based on that information I can make an informed decision whether or not I want to incorporate it in my diet.
Hi Claudia! I don’t do the nutritional analysis at this time. It’s very time consuming for me and not everyone needs it. There are a lot of apps out there that will figure it out for you if you input the ingredients.
