Instructions

1. Melt the butter in small bowl then add the orange zest honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt then stir to combine.
2. In a dry 12 inch well-seasoned cast iron skillet over a medium heat, add the oats and stir as you begin to toast them for 1-2 minutes. 
3. Add the walnuts and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour over the butter honey mixture and stir to distribute evenly over the dry ingredients. 
5. Stir continuously for another 5-10 minutes or until the oats are golden brown and the nuts begin to look toasted and release a nutty aroma. (Don't walk away!)
6. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool in the pan stirring occasionally as the granola cools and gets crispy then transfer it to an airtight container for storage. 
7. Serve as a cereal or as a topper on ice cream or Greek yogurt.
