Homemade Granola
Ready to Eat!
Now that summertime is creeping upon us, I have been brainstorming ideas of easy snacks and breakfast items that are simple to make and not time consuming. Granola has always been a favorite of mine, but buying boxes at a time can really start to add up cost wise. To help solve my granola dilemma, I decided to create a recipe of my own to make from scratch. I can’t begin to explain how much fun this was and not to mention, super easy! I love the fact that you can literally put in any of your favorite nuts or dried berries/fruit and have a delicious mix.
To make this recipe, I turned to my trusty ingredient of coconut oil to help give me a serving of healthy fats, along with added flavor. Coconut oil has always done a great job of bringing out the extra flavors in any recipe, especially with sweets. I will be using an unrefined coconut oil, which means that I’ll have to keep the baking temperature at around 325 degrees F to make sure the granola doesn’t burn. Just as a reminder, if you want to watch calories, you can always use sugar-free maple syrup – this will work just as well. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
1 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups old fashioned oats
½ cup slivered pumpkin seeds
½ cup slivered almonds
1 cup dried golden cranberries
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions
This recipe turns out absolutely amazing and you can double the amount of ingredients to make a large batch! Feel free to add chocolate chips to your finished product to make a trail mix or serve up a bowl with almond milk for breakfast.
