Making home made granola is super easy and healthy. You can use your imagination to add as many as nut or seeds or dried fruits you want to get the flavors you carve.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup roasted nuts chopped(I used pecans and peanuts)

  • 1/4 cup dried fruits chopped
  • 2 table spoon honey
  • 1 table spoon oil (coconut or olive oil)
  • 1/4 tea spoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips(optional)
  • pinch of salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 F. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl . Use your clean hands to mix. It worked better to combine everything. Spread the mix in a thin layer on a  baking sheet  and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Be care full not to burn the oats.  Cool  before storing in a  air tight container. This can stay in refrigerator for up to a month.
