Recipe Of The Week: Homemade Granola

Homemade granola can be a healthy, comforting, and delicious treat. Most of the store-bought stuff is high in sugar, contains unhealthy fats and oils, and is packed full of fillers and unnecessary ingredients.

Whipping up your own at home is super easy, quick, and allows you to control the amount of sugar and quality of ingredients, while also changing things up and adding in the flavors that you love. It also makes your house smell amazing – like you’ve been slaving in the kitchen all day!

Ingredients:

5 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup wheat germ

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup sliced almonds

Method:

- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

- Mix oats, brown sugar, coconut, wheat germ, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Stir water, oil, and vanilla extract into the oat mixture; spread onto a baking sheet.

- Bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy, about 1 hour; transfer to a bowl. Stir raisins and almonds through the granola.

N.B:

You can use whatever dried fruit you like with the granola. Same with the nuts and seeds.
