Nutritious Delicious Homemade Granola Recipes

HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread shredded coconut onto a baking pan and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Line two baking pans with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats); set aside. In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, canola oil, and honey. Stir together until well combined. Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheets; bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Break up cooled granola; sprinkle with raisins and toasted coconut. Stir to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

HEALTHY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
• Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
• Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
• Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
• Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CRUNCHY AND DELICIOUS GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine oatmeal, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, wheat germ, chopped dried cherries, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
• Mix applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
• Pour applesauce mixture over the oatmeal mixture; mix until evenly coated.
• Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets; smooth into a single thin layer.
• Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, stir gently to turn, and continue cooking until crisp and golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes.
