Healthy Homemade Granola Recipe
Description
Healthy Homemade Granola combines a mix of oats, coconut, nuts, and seeds with a honey and oil dressing spiced lightly with cinnamon and salt. It is spread evenly on a baking sheet and baked until the coconut and oats achieve a crisp, golden-brown texture.
Once cooled, dried fruit like cherries and raisins are stirred in, providing chewy bursts that contrast with the crunchy base. This granola offers a balanced mix of textures and natural sweetness with no added refined sugars beyond honey.
Enjoy the granola with milk or yogurt for breakfast, or as a topping for desserts or salads. It stores well in an airtight container, maintaining its crispness for several days.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut shredded
- 3/4 cup almonds slivered
- 1/2 cup Pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil or melted butter, generic cooking oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup golden raisins (or black raisins)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Mix oats, coconut, seeds, and nuts on the cookie sheet. Pour oil and honey over the mixture and sprinkle with salt and cinnamon. Toss well. Spread the mixture evenly over the cookie sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the coconut is golden-brown, flipping once and respreading after 10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet.
- Once cooled, mix in the dried fruit and store in an air-tight container.
