Homemade Granola
For today’s homemade granola you only need a few kitchen tools: A baking sheet, Silpat (non-stick baking mat), a baking mixing spoon or spatula, and a storage container.
First, you’ll want to gather up your supplies and ingredients, placing them onto a clean surface area.
How To Make Homemade Granola
Put your favorite ingredients into a bowl. Our favorite ingredients include oats, chopped apricots, dried cranberries, dried blueberries.
Next, add in your favorite nuts and seeds. We love pecans, seeded sunflower seeds, and almonds. But, you can also use walnuts and any other items you and your family like. Then you’ll add brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, and vanilla and stir the mixture well.
- Pour in onto your Silpat or another non-stick baking mat
. - Slip it into the oven baking at 350 degrees for 15 minutes then take it out stir ingredients and bake another 10-15 minutes.
- You’ll need to check on the final bake as ovens and altitude will vary finish time.
.
You don’t want to overcook the granola. The oats will be a golden color. Let the mix cool completely.
Then store in a storage container and set a little in a bowl for eating, yum! I prefer using glass storage containers.
