Granola

This is a staple in my house. It’s so incredibly easy to make. I don’t even know why I buy cereal! Just throw all of the ingredients into the bowl of your mixer and mix it on low until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Using a standing mixer is key because it evens out the flavors. 

I love to have it as cereal or with yogurt and fresh fruit in a parfait. It’s especially good right out of the oven! Enjoy! 

Granola-4-6 servings 

2 cups quick cooking oats

1 cup mixed nuts, chopped (I used almonds and pecans)

1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, pomegranate, raisons, etc)

pinch salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

¼ cup sweetened condensed milk

2 tbsp honey

¼ cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid

1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all the ingredients in your mixing bowl and mix on low until combined. Turn mixture out onto a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Mix with a spatula halfway through to keep edges from burning.
