Homemade Granola

This is a delicious and easy recipe to whip up and be able to take on the road with you, feed as a snack, throw it on some yogurt for that crunch, the options are endless.

If you do not have all the different nuts or prefer to use different one’s feel free to do so.  All my recipes are meant to be versatile so please feel free to use whatever you have on hand- that’s how we get Freedom in Food- we use what we can, where we can, how we can.

You don’t have to follow things exactly, be creative and let loose!! I am however gonna suggest purchasing only organic ingredients – if you buy items in bulk it’ll help with cost and lots of things can be frozen to help save it even longer.  Azure Standard is a great resource to purchase Organic Items in Bulk! See it there’s a Drop near you, it’s worth it if there is!

This make a large amount if you want you can cut everything in half for a smaller batch or even double the batch to have plenty on hand.   A side note about the flax seed, make sure you purchase WHOLE flax seed and then grind it when you need it for recipes. The reason is the flax seed has oil in it and once it is ground it’ll start to break down and eventually turn rancid. Why they even sell pre ground flax seed perplexes me. Grab your Golden Flax Seeds from Azure Standard!

Here’s the grinder I use for nuts that works great!

Grab Organic Ingredients from Azure Standard!!!

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Mix together the oats, flax seed, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, and walnuts in a large bowl.
2. In a pot on the stove top stir in the oil, salt, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla and stir.  Heat slowly and melt. Turn off burner.
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry mix and stir to coat.
4. Preheat oven to 325° F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheets.
5. Bake in the oven until crispy and toasted about 20 to 25 minutes stirring halfway through.  Please note it does get crunchy after you pull it out of the oven and cools down.
6. Store in a large container with a lid after completely cooled down.
