Easy Homemade Granola Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make some scrumptious granola.

• 2 cups oats (not instant)
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tbsp. oil (canola or vegetable)
• 1 tbsp. water

I ended up reusing some old vegetable oil that I had in the fridge. So delicious-looking, yeah?

Mix all dry ingredients (except raisins and chocolate).

Simmer the wet ingredients together for a minute or two.

Pour into the dry ingredients; squeeze to form lumps. Put the mixture into a greased a 9″x13″ pan, and turn the oven up to 275 degrees, Fahrenheit if you will.

Bake 30 minutes, then chuck the raisins in.

Bake for about 14 minutes more, and retrieve the granola from the sweltering depths of the oven.

Cool the granola, then stir the chocolate in.

Sha-bam, your homemade granola is complete. Eat n’ enjoy©, or store it for a week or two.
