LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE AMAZING GRANOLA I MADE LAST NIGHT!!

It’s seriously the best thing ever. And my kitchen still smells great after making this like 12 hours ago.

The basic ratio to follow for homemade granola is 6 parts dry ingredients to 1 part wet ingredients.

Dry ingredients can include oats, some kind of nut, some kind of seed, and some kind of puffed grain to add some crunch! If you want to add any dried fruit to your granola, wait until after you take it out of the oven and then mix in the fruit.

Wet ingredients should include a fat and a sweetener, and I also like to add an egg white to give the granola a nice shine.

Here’s how I made mine, but OF COURSE you can substitute other things!

Dry ingredients:

3 cups rolled oats 1 cup sliced almonds 1 cup whole flax seeds 1 cup puffed rice (really just Rice Krispies cereal….I was looking for another puffed grain at the store but I couldn’t find one)

Wet ingredients:

½ cup coconut oil ½ cup honey 1 egg white

1) Mix together all of your dry ingredients in a large bowl.

2) Melt the oil in the microwave and then whisk in the honey and the egg white.

3) Pour the wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is coated.

Now is when you get to taste what you’ve made and add spices accordingly! I added some cinnamon, nutmeg, a splash of vanilla extract, a dash of salt (helps to bring out all of the flavors, trust me!) and a small amount of brown sugar to sweeten it up right at the end.

Spread your granola out on a baking sheet (the kind that has a lip to keep it all from spilling out). I like to cover the baking sheet with tin foil to keep the granola from browning too quickly and to make clean up even easier!

Bake your granola in the oven at 300F for about 15 minutes, then take it out and give it a stir so that it toasts evenly. I baked mine for a total of about 30 minutes, taking it out to stir once at 15 minutes, and it’s very crunchy!
