Why buy granola when you can make your own? This super simple granola recipe is super versatile and absolutely delicious. My kids love helping me make it and even more they love eating it! Hello can you say YOGURT PARFAIT?!!
Oh my gosh you guys, this stuff is GOOD! It’s super simple and it’s a basic recipe so you could add anything to it to jazz up the flavors!!
We started by laying out oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt on a cookie sheet. I used silpat baking mat but you could use parchment paper too.
Mix vegetable oil or melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla together and spread over oats. I used my hands to mix it really well and then flatten it out evenly.
Then you bake. It’s so darn easy! I had everything in my house and my kids are devouring it! Win-Win!
Once it’s baked you wait until it cools completely. Break it apart and I like to store it in jars. It looks nice and it stores perfectly!
This recipe really is super easy! Add nuts, pretzels, cereals…the options are endless. Super Simple and Super Delicious!
