Homemade granola combines oats, coconut, nuts, seeds, sweetener, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and salt, then bakes at 300°F for 25–30 minutes. Follow a basic ratio of 2 cups oats to 1 cup coconut to 1 cup nuts to 1 cup dried fruit, and customize with grains and seeds like flax or sunflower. Mix oats, coconut, almonds and pepitas; whisk brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and salt; coat and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Rotate pan once and bake until evenly golden. Add dried fruit only after baking to avoid burning, then cool and crumble.
Homemade granola is a healthy pantry staple. It's also simple to make, requiring a mere 30 minutes to bake. Use this recipe as a template and mix and match ingredients to your taste. Follow a basic ratio of 2 cups oats to 1 cup coconut to 1 cup nuts to 1 cup dried fruit. Then you can embellish, using different grains and seeds, such as flax, sunflower seeds, goji berries or even wheat germ, depending on what you like.
Keep an eye on the granola as it bakes, but don't stir it you want it to stick together. It should be ready once it's evenly golden brown in color. Do not add the dried fruit until after baking, because the sugars in the fruit will cause it to burn in the oven. Simply sprinkle the fruit over the granola once it's removed from the oven to cool.
