Granola Recipe
A simple and customizable homemade granola recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or as a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 4-5 cups Rolled Old Fashioned Oats
- ⅔ cup Coconut Oil or Canola Oil, melted
- ½ cup Honey
- ¼ cup Light Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ cup Coconut Flakes or Chips
- 1 cup Chopped Nuts (cashews, almonds, or pecans)
- Pumpkin Seeds, Dried Fruit, Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line or grease a 15×18 jelly roll pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, melted coconut oil, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, coconut, and nuts until well combined. If you see any remaining liquid, consider adding ½ cup more oats.
- Evenly spread the granola mixture onto the prepared pan.
- Bake the granola for 10 minutes. Take it out, stir, and press it down with a spatula.
- Return it to the oven for another 7-10 minutes for chewy granola, or longer if you prefer it crunchier, stirring again if needed.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely. As it cools, it will harden.
- Store your homemade granola in an airtight container.
Notes
- Avoid overbaking to prevent burning.
- Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Add dried fruit after baking to prevent hardening.
