This is the best homemade granola recipe and is so easy to make. It is baked with organic oats, a natural sweetener, maple syrup, and coconut oil, making the entire house smell delicious and like home.
This granola recipe is truly one of the best I've made so far. The minute it comes out of the oven and barely cools, the kids are on it! It makes for a great topping on yogurt parfaits, a great cereal for the kids to enjoy in the morning, and a snack when you need something sweet to munch on guilt-free.
I love how easy this homemade granola recipe is to make. Once you start making it at home, you will never buy store-bought again.
Ingredients
Oats. I use organic oats to make them as healthy as possible. They are free of any sprays and chemicals.
Organic Coconut Oil. This oil is perfect for any baking. The smell is heavenly and there is a hint of coconut flavor, nothing overwhelming.
Maple Syrup. This is one of my favorite sweeteners in many healthy recipes. Using it in granola helps make it taste even more like breakfast in the granola.
Walnuts. My nut of choice for this granola. You can use also use pecans or almonds and add any other seeds.
Vanilla. Elevate the granola with vanilla to make it your go-to dessert.
Tips to Make the Best Homemade Granola
Chunky Granola. To achieve a chinky granola, try to crowd the pan a little. After baking, allow to cool completely before packing.
How to Store. For maximum flavor preservation, store in the freezer. You can also store granola in an airtight container in the pantry for up to three weeks.
