How To Make Homemade Granola

A little helper in my kitchen (aka my 2 year old) help put this all together and it was so fun to let her dump ingredient after ingredient.

This granola recipe has oats, flax seed, sunflower seeds, whole almonds, apple, cinnamon, coconut oil, and date syrup that come together super quick!

Granola making could not be easier! To make this granola, combine everything in a bowl, mix thoroughly, and bake!

What Can I Use Granola For?

Besides the obvious just eating it by the spoonful, we love to put our granola on plain greek yogurt with a little bit of date syrup.

If you want something a little more fun, you could try out my Apple Cheddar Crumble pie and use this apple pie granola as the topping! Granola DEFINTELY belongs on top of a pie!

What Can I Substitute in Granola?

This is a simple question to answer: ANYTHING!

Got some extra nuts? Throw them in.

Dried fruit? sure!

Little bit of spice left in that nutmeg jar? ADD IT! You cannot go wrong with granola and that is the beauty of it all.
