Last Christmas I made granola packaged in pretty mason jars for many friends and relatives. This past weekend we took a quick trip to Virginia and while we were there the boy’s godfather nonchalantly gave me my empty jar back with a not-so-subtle hint that he would like it refilled!
Since they were generous enough to allow us to invade their home with the three boys and 100 pound dog I thought the least I could do was whip them up another batch of granola as a thank you. And of course, I wanted to share the recipe with you as well:
It is simple but delicious served with yogurt, milk, or oatmeal. You can substitute the nuts and dried fruit for whatever your particular tastes are. I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you try it!

Yum, this looks great! Thanks so much for sharing this at The Fun In Functional!
Oh, this looks so yummy! I love granola. I’m pinning this.
I’ve been looking for a good granola recipe. This looks really good! Have you ever tried it without the coconut? Was wondering if it misses some of the flavor or if it is just as good.

I love this recipe. But I keep burning it. I am following the directions. I wonder if I should use a lower oven temp? Did you have problems like this when you first did I ths recipe?
Hi Kerri,
I haven’t had an issue with this recipe burning but have with others. I’d recommend lowering your oven temp a little and really keeping an eye on it. Granola tends to have a small window of perfect “doneness” before burning! Hope that helps some!

Try adding apple sauce… helps the granola stick together in clumps
Thanks for the tip Alex, I’ll try that next time!
