minutesGranola is healthy and delicious but can be so expensive to buy. Homemade granola is very simple to make and can be eaten with milk as a cereal, as a yogurt topping, or just by the handful!
Ingredients
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/3 cup honey
5 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
Optional add-ins before baking: Coconut flakes, flax seeds, pepitas, sunflower kernels
Optional add-ins after baking: Raisins, dried fruit, dates
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix the following in a large rectangular cake pan (11×15): Oats, nuts, powdered milk, cinnamon, salt, and any optional add-ins.
- In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, oil, and honey. Heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly.
- Bake granola for 10 minutes.
- Let granola cool completely in pan, stirring occasionally as it cools to prevent it sticking to the pan.
- Stir in additional items after baking such as raisins or dried fruit. I added some freeze dried apple pieces to mine. Store cooled granola in airtight container.
