Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cornflakes
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the almonds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Toast them in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are light golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes and toasted almonds. Toss them together until well mixed.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the hot honey mixture over the cornflakes and almonds in the mixing bowl.
Gently stir the mixture until the cornflakes and almonds are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the honey nut cornflake mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cornflakes are crisp and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Once cooled, break the honey nut cornflakes into clusters and store them in an airtight container.
Enjoy your homemade honey nut cornflakes as a snack or with milk as a breakfast cereal.
