Quick & Easy Homemade Granola

Jump to recipe

Granola is one of my favorite items to make from scratch. I’ve never been able to find a granola in the stores I enjoy. Commercial brands are either overly sweet or include too many additives and carbohydrates. Years ago, a friend shared her homemade granola recipe with me. I’ve tweaked it along the way to create my own version. This delicious quick and easy homemade granola recipe makes a huge batch, perfect to share with friends and family.

During a chaotic weekday morning, a healthy breakfast is sometimes hard to come by. In the past, I’ve skipped it all together or merely eaten a bar on the way to work or once I got to my desk. About a year ago, I remembered this recipe and decided to start making batches so I would have something healthy and delicious to eat throughout the week.

Furthermore, I’m currently training for a race and this type of dish offers significant energy and nutrition during peak times of fitness. Below is the recipe. It’s truly very simple to make and also a fun recipe to bake with kids. Even the youngest of children can help measure, pour and mix.

Quick & Easy Homemade Granola

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 cups sliced almonds
  • 1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
  • 3/4 cup olive oil (I use a little less)
  • 1/2 cup local honey

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Stir together dry ingredients, set aside
  3. Whisk together olive oil and honey
  4. Mix everything together until dry ingredients are coated with wet mixture
  5. Pour onto a baking sheet (I lightly grease the baking sheet by putting a small amt. of oil on a paper towel and rubbing down the pan)
  6. Cook for a total of 25-30 minutes, depending on the heat of your oven (stir every 10 min.)
  7. Let granola cool completely, store in Mason jars or some other type of tightly-sealed container

Around the holidays, I packaged  granola and gave as gifts. I also sometimes take it to work to share with co-workers. Once your granola cools, sprinkle it on a little yogurt, top with fresh fruit and enjoy!
