Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola

I love the granola recipe that Ina Garten uses for Fruit Crunch Sundaes. I use a few more oats and change up the nuts, but her method is great. We eat this plain for snack, with milk and dried fruit as a breakfast cereal, or with yogurt and fruit.

Homemade Granola
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup sweetened, shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 Tablespoons canola oil
4 Tablespoons honey

• Preheat the oven to 350*.
• Toss the oats, coconut, nuts, oil, and honey together in a bowl until they are completely combined.
• Pour onto a greased sheet pan.
• Bake about 20 minutes, until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring once.
• Store in an airtight container.

 Notes: A trick for measuring the honey is to measure the oil first; then the honey slips right out of the measuring spoon.
