Homemade Granola

First I want to thank everyone for the thoughtful comments on my last post.

It's good to be back in blogland.  Thanks for the warm welcome back :)

Now time to get back at it...

I've been making this granola a lot lately and can't get enough of it.  

It's super easy to make, healthy, and quite delicious.

It's not the fanciest granola recipe out there but that's partly what makes it so good.  

Just simple, healthy ingredients.

The recipe is from my Better Homes & Gardens cookbook

2 cups regular rolled oats

1 cup coarsely chopped nuts {I use a mix of almonds, walnuts and pecans}

1/2 cup coconut

1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds

1/4 cup wheat germ {I use ground Flax}

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoons cooking oil

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.  

Stir together honey and cooking oil; then add to dry ingredients.  Stir until well combined.

Spread evenly in a greased baking pan.  

Bake in a 300° oven for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring after 20 minutes.  

Let cool and break into clumps.  Store in an airtight container.

I made a double batch this time.  Otherwise it would fit in one pan. 

Now for my favorite way to eat it...

Take your favorite yogurt {Mine is Chobani - love this stuff!} and mix with fresh berries, then top with granola.  

Oh my, it's so good!  On mornings I have time, this has become my favorite breakfast.  

It's a healthy and yummy way to start your day!
