I had been buying Copp's Organic French Vanilla Granola but at $3.29 a pound, I needed to find a way to make this at home. Here's our super easy recipe. It came out tasting really good, and the ingredient list doesn't get any simpler!
1/4 C honey
2 T oil
1 t vanilla
2 C oatmeal, (old fashioned oats)
handful of chopped almonds
-preheat oven to 250F
- Whisk together the honey, oil and vanilla. Stir in oats and almonds and spread on a cookie sheet. (Hopefully yours is in better shape than mine.)
-Bake for 30 minutes
*Our honey had solidified over the winter, so I had to melt it in the microwave first. Everything mixed together much better that way.

Mmmmm sounds yummy.
Sounds pretty good!! I might have to try it!
It hard to tell under all that yummy looking granola, but I think my cookies sheets might be worse off. lol
I've noticed the word 'granola' in American recipes, and even spotted it here in the UK in things like 'granola bars', but never quite understood what granola was - so it's crunchy, nutty oat-type things??!!! Your recipes looks yummy1 What do you use it for? Is it like a breakfast ceral?
Your granola sounds wondeful, I will have to make some myself. And I agree, my cookie sheets are in no better shape than your own
Lillbjorne- We eat granola anytime of day. It works great as a breakfast cereal, but its also a great snack. I like to eat it with dried fruit and soy milk. I'll also eat it sprinkled over yogurt. Add a few dried fruits & nuts and you've got a great "trail mix" for snacks on the go. Store bought granola can be high in fat and calories so I try to make it at home. Granola bars can be either soft or crunchy, but again, store bought versions can be loaded with extra sugars and fats.
