Homemade Granola!

Good Morning and Happy Monday all!! Looking for a tasty breakfast treat that will last you all week (and beyond)? Look no further - homemade granola recipe below. For breakfast I'll usually do 1/4-1/2 cup of this yummy stuff with some almond milk and a banana, greek yogurt, or coconut ice cream if you're really feeling daring. :)

Homemade Granola

Time: 1.5 hours   Servings: 10
Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups rolled oats (use old fashioned, NOT quick oats)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins 
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons grassfed butter or Earth Balance
• 4 tablespoons raw, virgin coconut oil
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

• Preheat over to 250 degrees. Line large, rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and spray with coconut oil cooking spray.
• Mix oats, nuts, dried fruit, salt and spices together in large mixing bowl (using a KitchenAid makes this a breeze).
• Mix butter, coconut oil and honey in small saucepan – heat until butter and coconut oil melt. Add vanilla extract.
• Poor hot liquid over dry ingredients. Stir until combined well.
• Spread granola onto baking sheet into one even layer.
• Cook for 70 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and allow to cook completely before breaking into chunks. Granola will harden as it cools.

Enjoy!! xoxo - AM
