Easy Homemade Granola

Making granola at home is pretty simple; you hardly need a recipe. You’ll want to start with old-fashioned oats. You can add nuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, or any other superfood dry ingredients you prefer and a pinch of salt.

Then, you’ll want to whip together oil, a sweetener, and an extract. This recipe used coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

You could also use olive or avocado oil, brown sugar or honey, and almond or butter extract as examples. Just use what you have on hand!

Whisk everything together in a bowl until sticky and coated, and spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 300 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until the edges brown. Let it cool completely, then break it up into clusters, big or small.

It’s that easy! Even my toddler loves eating this homemade granola!

What You’ll Need To Make This Granola Recipe

• 4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup slivered or chopped nuts
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How To Make Easy Homemade Granola

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the oats, nuts, coconut oil, chia seeds, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix well until everything is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it evenly.
4. Bake until lightly golden, about 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway. The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
5. Let the granola cool completely. Break the granola into pieces with your hands to retain big chunks, or stir it with a spoon if you don’t want extra-clumpy granola.
6. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks or in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months.
