Instructions

Homemade Granola

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

Parfaits

  • In a small glass or 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.
