My Favorite Granola

The best way to start the day is with an amazing breakfast. My favorite is homemade granola. This is my Mom’s recipe and it is my favorite…(or haven’t I told you that it’s my favorite 😉 )

8 C  large flaked oats                                                                                                                              1 ½ – 2 C   ribboned coconut                                                                                                                 1 -2 C  nuts and/or dried fruit (almonds, pacans, sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pumkin seeds, cranberries, raisons, ect…)                                                                                       ½ C  honey                                                                                                                                             ½ C   (real) maple syrup (or all honey)                                                                                                1 C  oil                                                                                                                                                        2 tsp vanilla

Combine last 4 ingredients and heat in microwave, stir well. Mix everything together. Mixture should be sticky and moist but not soggy.

I like to bake on parchment paper on 2 cookie sheets.

Preheat oven to 325 stir every 7 minutes for 21 minutes on middle rack switching pans back and forth with each stir. (or until golden)

Enjoy with milk or yogurt, fresh fruit and a hot cup of tea or coffee. (Store in an air-tight container)

The perfect start to any day!

p.s. it’s my favorite!
