THE BEST HOMEMADE GRANOLA RECIPE EVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and maple syrup.
• In a large bowl, stir together the oats and nuts, salt, and cinnamon (leave the dried fruit out for now).
• Pour the oil and maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and toss to thoroughly coat.
• Spread granola onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spreading it thinly will result in a toastier taste, spreading it thickly will result in bigger clumps.
• Bake at 325F for 20 mins or until nuts smell toasted.
• Remove from oven and spread the dried fruit on top of granola and leave to cool.
• Break into pieces.
• Keep in an airtight container (I use a large Ziploc freezer bag).

THE BEST GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the oats, almonds, coconut chips and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
• Combine the brown sugar, syrup and oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Pour the sugar mixture over the oats and stir until well combined, then spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally (see Cook's Note) until toasted and golden brown, 60 to 70 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

DEER VALLEY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300*F.
• Mix the rolled oats, milk powder, sunflower seeds, almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and coconut in a large bowl.
• Measure the oil in a 1 cup measure.
• Swish it to coat up to the 3/4 cup mark, then add the honey to the mark.
• Add the vanilla.
• Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients and mix everything together using your hands.
• Spread onto a large baking sheet, about 1/2 inch deep.
• Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring after 15 minutes so the granola in the middle of the pan will brown evenly with the edges.
• Cool and store in an airtight container.
