Granola is one of my favorite things to have for breakfast or an easy snack! It's great with Homemade Yogurt or milk or a handful plain, It's definitely my go to meal with a little fruit stirred in.
You know what I love even more is making Granola from scratch because it is considerably cheaper, the ingredients are fresher, and it just plain old tastes better.
Granola is an easy recipe to make.
The worst part about making granola is trying to decide what flavor combination to make, I guess we will be adding a few favorite granola combinations later.
But for now I thought a recipe for traditional granola would do the trick!
In a small sauce pan combine:
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water
Stir over low heat until coconut oil is melted and combined with the honey.
Remove from heat stir in:
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
In a large bowl combine:
- 3 cups Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Raw Almonds
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Ground Flax Seeds
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
Pour melted honey/coconut oil mixture over the top and combined with oats.
Divide mixture evenly between 2 pans covered with parchment paper, and spread evenly.
Cook for 25-35 minutes or until light brown, stir granola every 5-10 minutes to brown evenly. Let cool completely.
(The parchment paper is important to prevent sticking.)
Once cool add 1 1/2 cups Raisins and stir until combined.
Once cooled store granola in a air tight container. I find mason jars work well.
Enjoy plain, with a little milk or with Homemade Yogurt.
A few other breakfast recipe favorites you might like are:
