Today I have a super yummy and easy recipe to share with you. My mom makes homemade granola all the time and it is one of my faves. Every time I visit she sends me with a bag to take home. She’s always taking care of me. Yesterday I had to get a little surgery (bone grafting / implant) done and she nursed me all day. Everything went great. I was just a little out of it all day from the anesthesia. My mom brought me smoothies/ice packs and insisted I take a nap. I snuggled up with my son in bed and we took a 2 hour nap. It was heavenly. I love that my mom still treats me like her little girl when I’m sick. Aren’t mom’s the best?!
{ Homemade Granola }
This homemade granola is pretty easy to make and is great served on yogurt with fresh cut strawberries. It definitely beats my typical “cereal” breakfast. This also makes a great little snack as well. Top with cool whip and you’ve got yourself a nice little treat.
Ingredients
- 5 cups rolled old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup canola oil a little less
- 1/2 cup honey a little less
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- optional: 1/2 cup coconut
- optional: 1/4 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Mix ingredients in a large bowl and stir until combined. Spread mixture onto a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 300 for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Put back in the oven for 7 more minutes. Remove from oven, stir and let cool. Store in a air tight container and serve with yogurt or ice cream.
Enjoy! :)

YUMMY! I love granola! I can’t wait to make this. One of my favorite kinds of granola is pumpkin granola made with pumpkin pie spice. I could eat it all day, every day. LOL!

YUMMY!!! Thank you for posting. I am assuming that is yogurt in the middle? Strawberry Banana, Strawberry… or any other of my favortie yogurts?
On another note. I got so tired of entering drawings for a Silhouette. I finally convinced my husband to buy me one for Valentine’s Day. I guess there are probably lots of other people that have done the same thing. Great idea for boosting sales on a Cameo, though!!! It arrives tomorrow. I am sooooo excited!

this sounds similar to what I have made in the past. I used to put crushed up flax seed in just for added bonus :)

Thank you for this simple recipe for granola – I always hesitate to make the more involved ones as they require so many ingredients and money. This is a keeper.
