Homemade Granola
My friend Alma has done a lot of experimenting with granola and has always sworn by her recipe. I love to keep a jar of granola in the house so I thought we should give her recipe a try! My kid agreed. He finds reasons to sprinkle it on just about everything – he especially likes a yogurt parfait.
-
- Pouring in oats.
-
- Shredded coconut!
-
- Using the mini whisk.
-
- Stirring it up.
-
- A bit of yogurt parfait.

- Alma’s Granola.
I’ve made granola before but I think Alma is right, this one is really special. Might be the toasted coconut. (Dana, I know I lost you at coconut!) We followed Alma’s Very Own Granola Recipe, but changed up the dried fruit and added pepitas. Now for the recipe…
Homemade Granola Recipe
Prep Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 45 mins
Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup water
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
handful of pepitas
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Wisk together honey, oil and water. Set aside. Combine oats, almonds, pepitas and coconut in a large bowl and toss with the honey mixture until evenly moistened. Spread it out on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with a Silpat (or parchment paper). Bake for 45 minute, stirring once or twice to evenly brown. Remove from oven and stir in the cherries and raisins. Cool completely on the cookie sheet before storing in airtight container or bags.
I've never made my own granola before but I think I may soon give it a try. This combo sounds pretty great!
This looks great – I can't wait to make it. Thanks for posting this recipe
By the way, I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old who both love to cook – so I love that you post kid-friendly recipes…not just in terms of friendly to their picky palate, but also kid-friendly in terms of letting them help with the preparing.
This looks delightful – you can never go back to store bought after this!
Definitely going to make this
