Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola is one of those super easy recipes that often gets overlooked because it’s just so easy to buy pre-made, but if you’re willing to give it a try, I think you’ll be in for a real treat and be amazed at the wonderful flavor you can create at home, not to mention, you’ll know absolutely everything that goes into it!  I love to eat granola by the handfuls as a snack, as cereal with milk, and mixed in with my yogurt to make a delicious parfait!

With very few ingredients, you can make a huge amount of granola at a much lower cost than purchasing it from the store too!

I have kept this recipe very simple and have only added pecans as my add-in because I like mine that way.  You can certainly change the type of nuts to whatever you like or a combination of nuts and seeds.  The options are endless!  Also, many people like to add shredded coconut and dried fruits.  I like it that way too, but my favorite is this simple duo of honey-coated oats and pecans.  If you choose to add dried fruits and coconut, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of baking so they don’t burn.
