A simple recipe for customizable homemade granola, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  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 the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted.
  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

  • For a clumpy granola, press the mixture down firmly on the baking sheet before baking.
  • Customize your granola with your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
  • This granola is a great addition to yogurt, smoothies, or enjoyed on its own.
  • Consider this a foundational recipe for your meal planning needs.
