Homemade Granola
I didn’t get a chance to make my granola last Thursday, I ended up spending the entire evening pricing stuff for the yardsale we’ll be having in two weeks time. Today wasn’t too hot out though so this afternoon I made a batch. Since it’s pretty easy, and super yummy, I thought I’d share my recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup of almonds (or your nut of choice)
- 1/3 cup of sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 14 cup canola oil
- 2 Tbsp Orange Juice
- dash of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and then mix oats, nuts, and seeds together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl stir oil, honey, sugar, juice and salt together. tip: If you measure out your oil in your 1/4 measuring cup before measuring out your honey, you’ll coat the measuring cup in oil and the honey won’t stick to the cup.
- Combine the contents of the two bowls.
- Spread mixture onto 2 cookie sheets - you can spray the cookie sheets with a non-stick cooking spray first if you’re into that sort of thing ;)
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes (until evenly browned). Let cool. Place granola in an airtight container.

I’m not sure how long this will keep because it never makes it past 5 or 6 days in my house!
If you’d like to add dried fruit to your granola (like apricots), add the fruit after baking the granola.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Yum-O! Is that a spoonula you're using?? I love mine! Thanks for the recipe, I'll be printing this one off and trying it!
