• STEP 2.In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios), honey, melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
• STEP 3.Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Press it down gently to create a compact layer.

• STEP 7.Transfer the Baklava Granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
• STEP 8.Serve the Baklava Granola as a breakfast cereal with milk, as a topping for yogurt or ice cream, or enjoy it as a crunchy snack on its own.
