easy homemade granola

I love having granola to snack on and add to smoothies, yogurt, or oatmeal. Store-bought granola can be expensive and contains a lot of added sugar. Granola is so easy to make at home, all with ingredients you could already have. There are many different ways to make granola, but if you like granola to be really crunchy, I recommend baking it in the oven. In this recipe, I used honey to add natural sweetness and to bind the ingredients together. I also used to coconut oil to blend everything together and to make sure everything got nice and crispy in the oven. You can get creative with what you add in– nuts, seeds, oats, dried fruit, peanut butter, spices. I kept it simple in this recipe, using just a few ingredients that blend well together and add subtle flavors.
