Cinnamon Stove Top Granola
  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Mix the oats with the cinnamon and add them to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the oats onto a large baking sheet and add the butter to the pot. Once the butter melts, stir in the honey, molasses, and brown sugar. When the mixture begins to simmer, return the oats to the pot and cook, stirring, until coated and hot.

  2. 2

    Remove from the heat and stir in the almonds and cherries. Pour onto a large cookie sheet and let cool. The granola will harden as it cools. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
