Homemade Granola
Author: 
Recipe type: Breakfast, Snack
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablepoon brown sugar
  • 4 cups old-fashioned or rolled oats
  • 2 cups dried shredded sweetened coconut
  • 4 cups dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, sliced apricots)
  • 2 -3 cups dried nuts (cashews, whole and sliced almonds, sunflower seeds)
  • Cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Whisk together canola oil, honey and brown sugar. I measured the oil and eyeballed the honey to match the amount of oil. Whisk until incorporated.
  3. Mix oats, nuts and shredded coconut in a large bowl and pour oil and honey mixture over. I hate coconut, but baked, crunchy coconut is absolutely delicious in granola! Mix until all ingredients are wet. Line baking sheet with foil and spray Pam cooking spray. Spread granola in a thin layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the oats and nuts. Bake for 15 minutes, then gently toss the granola with a spatula. Return to oven and bake additional 10 - 15 minutes, making sure to toss the granola so that it browns evenly.
  4. Let baked granola cool. Then transfer to a large bowl, toss with fruit and enjoy!
  5. Note: I usually store the granola in a large tupperware in the fridge.
