As you’ve heard me say many times I make homemade granola. It’s so yummy I make it every week. I got the original recipe from my sister but don’t follow the amounts at all. It’s not the type of recipe you really need to follow exact amounts on. If you want it more chewy and clumpy, add more honey. If you don’t want it very clumpy, add less. Pretty simple! :)

Ingredients:

• 8 cups oats
• 2 cups bran flakes
• 1/2 cup Oil (either EVOO or Vegetable)
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1 cup coconut
• 2 tbsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• almonds, pumpkin seeds, pecans,etc
• flax seed
• cranberries, golden raisins

Preheat oven to 375

In a large bowl combine first 5 ingredient and mix thoroughly. Add remainder of ingredients except cranberries and cater to your taste when you choose to add nuts. Omit adding cranberries or raisins until the last 10 minutes of baking to keep them from burning. Grease a 9×13 pan and dump in mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes and stir thoroughly, bake an additional 15 minutes until light brown.

**Note: I scoop out the granola while still warm to keep it from sticking to my glass pyrex pan making it terribly difficult to clean. I have a plastic container I use for cereal and have a measuring cup I keep in there at all times to make it easy for scooping. :)

I absolutely love this with Vanilla Coconut milk. Adds a great sweet twist to cereal.
