Granola Recipe

I double this super easy granola recipe and make it on Saturday or Sunday, put it in a air tight tub and then my family and I use it for cereal, snack and just eat it by the handful or add it to things like yogurt! Granola is a great healthy breakfast or snack however a little goes a long way when counting calories and you can easily over indulge in this stuff so remember everything in moderation even the healthier yummy's! Enjoy!

Pumpkin Granola


Easy Homemade Granola


4 cups oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup sunflower seeds or flax seed, pumpkin seeds, slivered almonds or whatever seed or nut you like (optional)
1 tsp salt  
Mix dry ingredients and then make a well in the middle


1/2 cup to 3/4 cup honey (depending on how sweet you like it)
1/4 cup Grapeseed oil
2 tsp vanilla


Pour the wet ingredients into the well and then stir. Take your hands and squeeze the granola mixture making sure the honey and oil have coated all of it. Place on a cookie sheet and press down, this helps create clumps instead of it all just being loose oats. 


Bake for 25 mins @ 300 degrees


Let cool then mix in as many raisins or other dried fruits that you like. Store in air tight container and Enjoy!
