A few years ago,I shared a granola recipe that my mom makes often.
I really like it — but it makes a huge recipe, and it still has a lot of brown sugar and sugared coconut.
My daughter decided to look at different recipes and put together her own recipe. I really like it — she has made it twice, and I have eaten a lot of it with some yogurt and fruit for a healthy breakfast!

Here is one recipe for Healthy Granola!

- 3½ cups rolled oats or quick oats
- 1½ cups nuts chopped or slivered
- 1 cup coconut flakes (We used sweetened coconut flakes.)
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. salt
- ⅓ cup chia or flax seeds
- ⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
-
Mix together all dry ingredients (1st 6 ingredients).
-
Mix together all wet ingredients (last 3 ingredients)
-
Evenly coat the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
-
Place a piece of parchment paper on top a baking sheet that has a lip.
-
Spread the granola on top of the parchment paper.
-
Bake at 350° for 22-26 minutes, stirring every 6 minutes.
-
Let it cool. Store in a covered container.
