For a richer flavor, toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the oat mixture. Feel free to experiment with other nuts and seeds, such as pecans, walnuts, or sunflower seeds. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, sucralose sweetener, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
