Homemade Granola

A cup of healthy granola and yogurt or milk is a light breakfast that's quick and easy. Make up a batch and store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Use gluten-free oats to make a gluten-free version and whatever nuts and dried fruit you like.

How to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the oats, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, salt, and cinnamon.

  4. In another bowl, whisk together the Canola oil, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla.

  5. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until all the oats appear wet.

  6. Place half of the mixture onto each baking sheet and spread flat into one even layer.

  7. Place pans into the oven and bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden brown.

  8. Stir the granola about halfway through baking and turn pans to achieve a more even color. Don't overcook or the granola will have a burnt taste.

  9. Remove from the oven and let the granola cool on the pans.

  10. When room temperature, place the granola in a large bowl. Mix in the dried fruit with a wooden spoon breaking up any large pieces of granola.
