Homemade Fruit and Nut Granola
Simple homemade fruit and nut granola that comes together in a couple minutes. It's incredibly versatile to your tastes and much cheaper than store bought.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup (20g) ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup (50g) sliced almonds (or nut of choice)
- 1/3 cup (40g) dried fruit (I like cranberries best)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp (22g) canola oil (or other neutral oil)
- 1/4 cup (80g) honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (40g) mini semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, flaxseed, nuts, dried fruit and cinnamon. Mix together with a wooden spoon.
- Add in the oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined and everything is coated.
- Dump the mixture onto the baking tray and spread it so it's flat. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until just starting to turn golden. (*see notes) (It will still feel kind of soft but it will crisp up as it cools). Allow to fully cool and then add in the chocolate chips if you wish. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks and enjoy!
Notes
*Don't overbake it as it will burn. Once it starts to turn golden, take it out and let it sit on the tray. Once it cools, it will be crisp with some clusters that you can break up if you wish.
