Print Recipe

A simple recipe for making your own granola at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and seeds.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can customize your granola with different nuts, seeds, spices, and dried fruits.
  • For clusters, press the granola down firmly on the baking sheet before baking.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven and desired crispness.
