First, you’ll want to gather your supplies and ingredients, placing them onto a clean surface area.

Preheat the oven to 350F

Add the dry ingredients; oatmeal and dried fruits… into a bowl. Our favorite ingredients include chopped apricots, dried cranberries, and dried blueberries.

Next, add in your favorite nuts and seeds. We love pecans, seeded sunflower seeds, and almonds. But, you can also use walnuts and ingredients you and your family will enjoy eating. Then, add brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla and stir the mixture well.

Directions

1. Pour the mixture onto your Silpat or another non-stick baking mat (or use parchment paper).

3. You will need to check on the granola as it bakes— Ovens and altitude will vary finish baking time.

You don’t want to over-bake the granola. The oats will be a golden color when done.

Let the mix cool completely before storing.

Then store the homemade granola in an air-tight storage container and set a little in a bowl for eating, yum! My favorite glass storage containers.
