An easy blend of oats, maple syrup, and assorted nuts and seeds turns out deliciously crunchy oven-baked granola. Great for adding to yogurt and fruit for breakfast, or just snacking by the handful.

ingredients

6 cups rolled oats
2 cups mixed nuts and seeds such as sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, or cashews
1 cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 dash salt
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup, or to taste
1 cup raisins or chopped dried fruit, optional

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, coconut, cinnamon, salt, and honey in a bowl and mix well to coat everything. Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on a sheet pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned and crisp.

Remove the pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Stir the raisins or dried fruit into the granola. Let the granola cool to room temperature then store in an airtight container.

    this looks like a recipe I've looked for for many years... my children loved it years ago.. I'll make them some for a surprise.

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This is an easy recipe to make, very flexible to allow whichever ingredients you like to include in your granola.

  4. Penn State Mom REVIEW:

    I'm glad that I doubled this recipe. It's delicious and is equally good on top of plain yogurt. I will keep this recipe and plan to use it often. It was easy to prepare and the ingredients are all staples in our home.
