Healthy Homemade Granola Recipe

honey

maple syrup

tbsp molasses (optional)

neutral oil (canola, vegetable, coconut, sunflower, avocado, etc.)

oats

coconut

flax seed

chopped nuts and seeds (any combination)

cinnamon (plus an extra tablespoon if desired)

Preheat oven to 250°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray heavily with baking spray.

On the stove or in the microwave warm the honey, maple syrup, molasses, and oil.

In a large bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients. Add in liquid mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Spread mixture onto cookie sheets. Cook for a total of 90 minutes, stirring and rotating the pans between oven racks every 30 minutes. After cooking for 90 minutes, stir one final time, then gently press and smooth over the top of the granola.  Place the granola back in the oven, turn it off, and close the door. Allow the granola to cool in the oven until room temperature, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Once cool, break up with hands and place in an airtight container.

This crunchy pecan granola is the recipe my family makes at the cabin every year. So crunchy, sweet, and delicious with lots of clusters!

Crunchy Pecan Granola

rolled oats (not instant)

pecans, halved (almonds or walnuts work well

flour

sugar

salt

cinnamon

Mix first 6 ingredients together. Whisk the oil and the honey together and add to oats mixture.

Spread on a baking sheet (it’s helpful if it has raised edges) and bake for 35 minutes, stirring all the way down to the bottom of the pan a few times during baking. Bake longer for more crunch, but don’t let it burn! Allow granola to cool completely after baking (this is when it clumps together). Serve with milk, yogurt, fruit, ice cream, or just plain snacking!

Two of my favorites: granola and pecans.  You nailed it! Thanks for sharing.
