A simple and customizable homemade granola recipe perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Easily meal-prepped and delicious topped on yogurt or with milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, and seeds.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
