Description
A heartwarming and customizable homemade granola recipe that transforms ordinary oats into a delightful morning staple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 cup seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold everything together until all the oats and nuts are coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to encourage clumping.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
- Let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once cool, stir in your dried fruits, and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Customize with different nuts, seeds, and spices to suit your taste preferences. Allow the granola to cool completely to achieve the perfect crunch.
