This basic homemade granola recipe is simple and results in a sweet, crunchy, and oh-so-satisfying morning treat! It’s perfect by itself as a quick snack or with milk, mixed with yogurt, or even sprinkled over ice cream!
Ingredients
3 Cups of rolled oats (gluten free if you need to)
¼ – ½ cup of melted coconut oil (less will produce a drier, toastier granola)
¼ - ½ cup of honey or maple syrup
½ cup of raisins
½ cup candied pecans
½ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup of flaked coconut
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. cinnamon
⅛ tsp. of salt
¼ tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
Spread the mixture over a parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheet and move into the oven.
Stir the granola every 15 to 20 minutes.
Cook to a deep golden brown or until desired doneness, watching closely after 30 minutes to ensure the granola doesn't burn.
Let granola cool, then store in an air-tight container.
