Description
Homemade granola sweetened with a touch of honey and adaptable with any dried fruits or nuts that you have on hand.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Oats (quick, Steel-cut, Or Rolled)
- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- ½ cups Walnuts
- ½ cups Almonds, Chopped, Or Almond Slivers
- ½ cups Pumpkin Seeds
- ½ cups Pistachios
- ½ cups Dried Cherries
- ½ cups Raisins
- ½ cups Dried Cranberries
- ½ cups Honey
- ½ cups Butter, Melted
- ⅓ cups Canola Or Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Flax Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Preparation
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Spread into a single layer in a large rimmed baking sheet (you may need to use two). Bake at 300 F for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes for looser granola. For more “snack size” granola pieces, stir only once then press the mixture back into the baking sheet with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Remove from oven and cool. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 10 cups.
Change it up however you like with dried apricots, dried apples, hazelnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, or other fruits and nuts.
Enjoy granola on your morning yogurt, as a mid afternoon snack, or as a breakfast cereal with milk.
