Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 cup wheat germ
  • 2 cups bran flake cereal
  • 1 ½ cup pistachios and almonds (or pecans sunflower seeds etc)
  • 6 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)

Parfait Toppings:

  • yogurt of your choice
  • fruit of your choice
  • a drizzle of honey

Instructions

Homemade Granola

  • Roughly chop the nuts you choose. Sliced almonds work really well, pistachios are the right size too, just rough chope larger nuts like walnuts and pecans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and honey, mix, it won't totally incorporate.
  • Add all dry ingredients: pistachios, almonds, pecans, chia seeds, coconut, cinnamon, wheat germ, bran flake cereal, and rolled oats.
  • Mix all ingredients, place in single layer on a large 10 x 15 sheet baking pans
  • Bake 225 degrees for 1 hour
  • Stir every 15 to 20 minutes while baking.
  • Remove from oven, stir every 20 minutes until cool. This prevents the granola from forming clumps.

Parfaits:

  • In a small mason jar, layer yogurt, homemade granola, fruit, and drizzle with honey.
  • Put the lid on the mason jar and keep refrigerated.

Notes

rolled oats

Use old-fashioned rolled oats as opposed to quick-cook oats, they have a better texture in your granola. 

storage

Homemade granola keeps well in a ziplock bag or sealed container for several weeks!

nuts

I love slice almonds, pecans, and pistachios! But other options are sunflower seeds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, or sesame seeds would all be great.
