Do you need a last minute gift idea for Christmas?
Homemade Granola
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups oats
- 1/2 cup nuts
- 1/2 cup coconut
- mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/6 cup water (which is 2 TBS plus 2 tsps.)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts and coconut.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Place the entire mixture on a large baking sheet that has been lined with foil and sprayed or you can use parchment paper.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and stir the granola.
Then return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
Take the pan out and stir again. - You will keep doing this until the granola is nice and brown.
Set your timer! Because, you could forget and end up with a huge mess on your hands. - After the granola has cooled down, you can add dried fruit, sunflower seeds, mini chocolate chips; whatever is your favorite!
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
