Best homemade granola image

My husband loves granola, so I set out to make some since its so expensive to buy. I took the best from several recipes. He eats his on yogurt every morning for breakfast.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cup(s) oats, old fashioned
2/3 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed, light
1/3 cup(s) almonds, sliced
2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
1/2 cup(s) butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup(s) honey
1/3 cup(s) peanut butter, optional
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees
  • Spray a 15X10 baking sheet (jelly roll pan) with nonstick cooking spray
  • In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients, oats, flour, brown sugar, almond slices, cinnamon, and nutmeg
  • In a microwave safe bowl combine wet ingredients, honey, butter, peanut butter (if using) and microwave until butter is melted. Stir and then add vanilla.
  • Pour melted mixture over oat mixture, stir well
  • Spread into your baking dish and make sure it is spread out well.
  • Bake for 70-75 minutes, stir or flip half way through. Towards the end it will smell a little too done but mine has always been fine.
  • When its finished it will still be a little soft, stir and break it up a couple times as its cooling and it will crisp up. I store mine in a gallon size Ziploc bag but any air tight container will work. You can add dried fruit at this point as you are mixing it up!
