Our favorite homemade granola

Shortly after we married, Eddie and I became addicted to this granola. I wish I could remember where I found the original recipe, but I adapted it for our diet: took out the brown sugar and added agave/honey, used coconut oil, and upped the vanilla. I introduced it to Jeremy this morning.

Um, he's a fan...

Homemade Granola

Ingredients

2 cups oats (regular or gluten-free)

1 cup other ingredients (I've used flax seed, chopped pecans, sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, and unsweetened coconut flakes)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup agave or pure Grade A maple syrup 

1 tablespoon honey

3 tablespoons coconut oil

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring (optional)

dried fruit (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 275.

Mix dry ingredients together.

On stovetop, bring liquids to a simmer, then pour into dry ingredients and stir.

Spread onto baking sheet and bake approximately 35 minutes, checking and stirring every 10-15 minutes. (If you have dried fruit, don't add it till the last 15 minutes.)

Let cool, then store in an airtight container.
