Homemade Granola
Making homemade granola is incredibly easy! Just mix oats, nuts, seeds, and sweet ingredients to create your crunchy clusters. Granola isn’t only about the delicious aroma and satisfying crunch, it’s also about choosing what you love to eat. Say goodbye to store-bought granola with hard-to-pronounce ingredients.
I choose to not use any butter or oil, but if you prefer more clusters and clumps, then you can add in 1/4 cup of melted butter or oil. Feel free to substitute with your favorite nuts or dried fruit. Dried cherries or cranberries would be a delicious substitution for the raisins. I usually restock this pantry staple on Sunday mornings and the smell that fills the house is just divine!
