A simple and customizable recipe for homemade granola, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your preferences.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup 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, mixed nuts, and seeds.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it crisp up.
  8. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
  9. Store your homemade granola in an airtight container at room temperature.
