How to Make a Basic Homemade Granola

This is a simple granola recipe that I learned to make at the beginning of my weight loss journey. Its a good recipe to use especially if you are just beginning your journey and just starting to experiment more in the kitchen.
I will share a lighter version of this recipe pretty soon.  Until then, Enjoy!

Homeade Granola

1 1/2 cups oatmeal

1 cup of chopped almonds or preferred nut

1 cup of raisins or cranberries

1/3 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of honey

coconut oil

~Preheat oven at 350. Make sure your hands are CLEAN. They should always be clean when cooking, but this recipe calls for using your hands. 

~Grease the cookie sheet or pan with coconut oil.

~Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix them very well, making sure to coat all oats with honey.  If you must, add a little more honey at your discretion.

~Then, flatten the mixture onto  the pan and bake for anywhere between 15-20 minutes. 

~Allow to cool. Then, cut into bars or crunch up for cereal or to use as a topping.

I crumbled all of the granola up for a quick handy snack.

Also makes a great cold cereal. Just add milk.

****If you like for the granola to be a little more crunchy, do the whole 20 minutes. More chewy, do the 15 minutes.****
