Homemade Granola image

My husband found this recipe in a mountain bike magazine that we changed just a bit. This granola is really easy to make and very good. You can use oats, but I like to use multi-grain hot cereal that includes oats, barley, rye, and wheat. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons apple juice
5 tablespoons honey (add more for a sweeter taste)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (add more for a sweeter taste)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups multi-grain hot cereal (or oats)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup dried berries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
  • Toast nuts in pan over stove until lightly brown.
  • Mix the fruit juice, honey, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, and spices in a large bowl. It's okay to add more honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, or spices - just depends how you like your granola to taste.
  • Add oats and nuts into honey mixture and combine together.
  • Spread mixture on a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes until golden. Stir occasionally. Use your best judgement when baking. I like mine a little crunchy, so sometimes I bake it 40 minutes.
  • Leave on pan to cool.
  • If you are using dried fruit stir in once completely cooled.
  • Store granola in container with lid (not in refrigerator). It will last about a week or a little longer. Add granola to vanilla yogurt, or with milk, or eat plain.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds and pepitas. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granola came out too dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I found this granola to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or extract.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.
