honey almond granola



I know that many of you that aren’t the least bit interested in making foods from scratch when you can just go and buy ready-made. And that’s true in some instances but when it comes to granola homemade is far superior to any packaged granola I’ve ever tasted, plus you know what’s in it. I make this granola every couple of weeks and store it in big jars. Served with Greek yogurt and berries it’s undoubtedly one of my favorite breakfasts and snacks.

5 cups rolled oats
1 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 cup natural almonds, chopped
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup honey
3/4 cup canola oil
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Spread onto baking sheets. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden. Let cool completely before storing. Makes about 8 cups, 16 servings.
