Honey Cinnamon Granola

This healthy honey cinnamon granola recipe is a staple in our home, especially in the summer. Made with old fashioned oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, and flax, this granola recipe is very nutritious.

Although there are many kinds of granola to choose from at the store, I like to make my own. It really is very easy to make and is often healthier and less expensive than the store-bought granola.

What is granola?

• Simple granola is a combination of oats, oil, and sweetener. You can add nuts, seeds, and dried fruit as you wish.
• Granola is a great breakfast or snack food.

How to make granola

• Start by combining all the dry ingredients (oats, nuts, seeds).
• In a separate bowl combine the oil and sweetener.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Cook in the oven until the granola is golden brown.
• If adding dried fruit, stir it in once the granola is cooked.
• If you want clumpy granola, do not disturb it once it is done cooking but rather let it cool in the pan before stirring it.
• Transfer the granola to a container for storage. I store mine a room temperature in a glass jar.

This honey cinnamon granola is delicious served with homemade yogurt or milk. It also works as an ice cream topping.
