How to Make Homemade Granola

Having snacks around the house is a must with kids! It’s hard to find those that are healthy and easy. While making homemade things isn’t always feasible, there are those recipes that you can make in bulk and have on hand for anything and everything. This granola is one of those things!

Here is what you need to make granola at home:

½ cup maple syrup

½ cup almond butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼- ½ teaspoon sea salt

2 cups oats

1-3 teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup sliced almonds

½ cup chopped pecans

½ cup sunflower seeds

Here is how to make it:

Preheat oven to 350 F/ 175 C.

Put the maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla, salt and cinnamon (if using) into a bowl and whisk until smooth.

Add in the oats, nuts and seeds and toss to coat well.

Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes so it hardens.

Break apart and use as preferred!

You can even add in other ingredients like dried fruit or shredded coconut!
