Granola is one of my most favorite things ever. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy, and I don’t feel too guilty eating it as an afternoon snack. (or breakfast… or dessert) With that saying, I hadn’t ever found the perfect recipe. Turns out you don’t need one! I didn’t really measure anything, so if you think it needs just a little more (or less) of something, go for it! Make it your own. Enjoy!  

Homemade Granola

3 cups of rolled oats

3/4 cup of slivered almonds

3/4 cup of chopped pecans

3/4 cup of coconut

3 tablespoons wheat germ

1/2 cup of brown sugar (more or less to taste)

1/2 cup of honey

1/3 cup of canola oil

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup of dried fruit

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. The granola should be slightly sticky and clumpy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and press granola flat. Bake at 300 F until golden. Let cool, then break into small pieces and store in a sealed container.
