Classic Granola Recipe Without Sugar
This Classic Granola Recipe is a simple granola that is sweetened with honey and so delicious. It is the perfect morning treat and is a recipe that is easy to make your own.
It is a rainy day in our area. Stormy in fact. With the weather so crazy outside I am going through the recipes and granola always seems to be a great one for rainy days. It makes the house smell amazing and a warm bowl of it fresh from the oven is a perfect movie snack. So granola it is. Granola is so simple to make yet it is one of those things that seem a lot more complicated then it really is.
The best part is you can adapt this recipe by using the basics of the sweetener, oil and oats. At times I like to add dried fruit like cherries, raisins or cranberries. Other times I am wanting more of a dessert style granola and that is where my Old Fashioned Dark Chocolate Walnut Granola comes in. Today I am sticking to a simpler variation though nonetheless tasty. This classic granola is so delicious and goes well alone, with this homemade yogurt and even as a cereal with milk poured over.
What You’ll Need To Make This Classic Granola Recipe
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup raw honey
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup pecans (almonds and walnuts work well too)
Directions
Set your oven to 300℉/149℃
In a stock pot begin heating the oats, honey and coconut oil.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Add the cinnamon, salt, nuts and coconut. Stir well to combine.
Pour mixture onto the baking sheet and spread out as shown. Bake for 20 minutes.
Then turn the baking sheet around and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Mixture should be golden brown and smelling amazing.
Store in an air tight container in your pantry. I find that mason jars work perfectly and love this La Parfait Jar.
Serve alone, in milk, over ice cream or with yogurt.
