Homemade Granola

Ha, ha! That title makes me laugh...anyway, just this morning I finished off my store-bought granola and I promised myself when this happened, I would make the next batch myself. This motivation came about from a conversation I had with Katie W. (thank you!). It is something I wanted to try and I couldn't ignore I rarely buy the stuff because of grocery store prices. Too high!

I just completed making my first batch of granola. Easy-peasy! Also, you can make to your liking, truly! I added sweetened coconut, almonds and pumpkin seeds (if the items are already roasted, add them after you bake the granola) to be baked with the oats and after the concoction cooled, I added cranberries and raisins. Yum! Here is the recipe I used as a base but definitely altered it to my liking. I did not add brown sugar and used less honey than the original recipe called for.

Try it!
