Easy homemade granola recipe with oats, honey, coconut, pecans and a delicious crunch. Perfect for snacking, breakfast or dessert!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 24

Ingredients 

  • 5 cups rolled old fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I prefer cashews, almonds or pecans)

Optional mix in's: Additional nuts, seeds or craisins (I love adding in 1/2 cup golden berry blend from TJ)

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 300°F. Line or grease a jelly roll pan and set aside.
    • Mix ingredients in a large bowl and stir until combined. Spread granola mixture out evenly onto a greased jelly roll pan.
    • Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Put back in the oven for 7-10 more minutes or until it reaches desired crunchiness. It will harden more as it cools, so be careful not to burn. Remove from oven, stir and let cool.
    • Store granola in an air tight container and serve with yogurt, smoothies, ice cream and more!

    Notes

    • Granola will harden as it cools, so be careful not to over cook.
    • If adding chocolate chips or dried fruit, wait to add in until granola has been cooked and cooled.
    Optional add-in's: chocolate chips, dried fruit, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, cinnamon
    To store: Place in an airtight container or bag and keep at room temperature for up to 1 month.
