There's nothing like homemade granola... Its easy to make, its fresh and tasty and its a lot cheaper than store bought. Here is one very delicious granola recipe. Feel free to play around with the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. I spiced this granola with a little pumpkin spice in honor of the fall season:) If you like craisins or raisins, add 1 cup after the granola has finished baking.
Preheat the oven to 250° F
In one bowl combine:
- 3 C. Rolled oats (old fashion oats)
- 1 C. Slivered almonds
- 1/2 C. Cashews
- 1/4 C. Chia seeds
- 3/4 C. Shredded coconut
- 1/4 + 2 TBSP brown sugar
In a separate bowl combine the following ingredients:
- 1/4 + 2 TBSP maple syrup
- 1/4 C. walnut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 tsp salt
Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix well. Spread the mixture onto a large cookie sheet and place in preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Be sure to stir the granola every 15-20 min so that its bakes evenly.
ENJOY!
