Homemade Granola

Granola is a delicious treat at our house. We love to eat it by the handful or mixed with yogurt & berries. It’s a fabulous and healthy snack, breakfast, or lunch.

MAKE IT

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spay a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all dried ingredients EXCEPT the dried fruit.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the oil and honey.
  4. Add the oil/honey mix to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. Spread on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Then stir and spread it out again. Bake for another 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  6. In a large bowl, break the granola into large chunks. Add the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.

CLEAN IT

Look for organic oats, dried fruits and nuts whenever possible.

GREEN IT

Store the granola in glass jars rather than plastic. It looks prettier that way too!

MAKE IT FUN

Make a double batch and then share the extra with friends and neighbors. Everyone loves fresh granola!
