This is an excellent granola recipe, I don’t remember where I got it. It’s quite simple, delicious, and it really lasts for a long time. Other than that, it’s great by the handful, in a bowl with milk, atop a pile of yogurt, anyway you can think to eat it!
Homemade Granola
Makes about 8 cups
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
4 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup golden raisins (I have also substituted dried blueberries for this, delicious)
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread shredded coconut onto a baking pan, and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
2. Reduce oven temperature to 300. Line two baking pans with parchment paper; 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 pan to a wire rack to cool.
3. Break up cooled granola; sprinkle with raisins and toasted coconut. Stir to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.

Thanks for posting yours too – I’ll be trying these this weekend 🙂
Sounds great, Martha! I linked up a No-Bake Oatmeal Energy Bar (with cherries & almonds) that is really yummy! You’d like it!
Great recipe Min! If you like granola you have to try my protein bars one of these days. I’ll link them up on the sidebar 🙂
Thanks for all your comments!
It’s so good, so much better than any store-bought granola! Come back and let me know what you think after you’ve tried it!
This looks awesome – it would go with my greek yogurt and fruit in the morning. Thanks!
Heh, I was just talking about wanting to make my own granola with my girlfriend. Awesome. Looks like a great recipe.
Perfect – I’m just about out of cereal and I’ll make this instead!
This really sounds good! I’ve never made granola and this looks like it would be easy so I will have to give it a try! Thanks!
